Default Changing Oil for S2K

Hello,

I wanted to get feedback from S2K owner who changed their own oil.

What would you recommend for an oil filter for your S2K? I used Fram for my older car but I heard Fram is not that good. What oil are you guys using?

Also, how many quartz of oil does an S2K need? 4 or 5? I know, noob question but haven't gotten my manual yet.

Thanks!

Stick with OEM oil filter. And I believe she'll take just under 5qts. for the oil itself. I used Mobil1 or Valvoline Synthetic with no problems...

My $0.02 worth

Use the OEM Honda PCX filter.

I use Chevron Supreme oil, but most major brands, conventional or synthetic, are going to be fine. There is a lot of info regarding oil on this board so look around and you should be able to find the oil that fits your needs perfectly.

How wrong you are.

To add to my previous comment, I always use exactly 5 quarts during my oil changes and it sits just below the FULL mark.
