I'm currently running a comptech SC on my s2000. I'm very new to FI and wondering what types of regular maintenance are needed to keep the car in good condition. I'm a mild driver and only drive it about 10 miles a day.

Is oil change every 3000 miles sufficient?
Should I use synthetic oil?
What other fluids must be changed on a normal basis?

Your advice would be greatly appreciated!

 

Oil changes are subjective but every 3000 miles could be considered over kill w/synthetic oil. I however did it anyway because I prefer clean oil.

Check the following:
Belt (for tension)
Aftercooler (fluid level)
Spark Plugs (change if copper, every other oil change)
Differential fluid (I changed mine every 3rd oil change)
Clutch fluid (levels, replace if dirty)
Under the hood (make sure components/fittings are still intact and have not vibrated loose.
Filter (Clean and re-oil as necessary)

on the regular copper plug changes.

I just bought a big box of 'em. Don't forget to run one level colder.

Depending on your driving and your tune, you may foul out plugs if you do idling or lots of low rpm driving.

I'm considering dedicated engine management so I can run a city map vs a "sport" map.

 

Thanks SIIK2NR... I'll follow your advice.

Entralled- When's Tech day? I'm in LV temporarily for work and would enjoy meeting fellow s2kers.

Thanks!

 

I like that idea!
