I don't have time to re-read everything this morning but..... my car actually only did the smoke thing with the original honda break-in oil. It didn't do it last time at the track with Mobil 1.
Does that help. I think everyone with the smoking S2000's had the original oil.???

Someone had an 18,000 mile S2K with clouds of blue smoke. Typically an oil system problem or symptom like this will happen under a combination of continuous high revs (top end full of oil) and high lateral g. Sometimes only certain cornering conditions will bring it out. Slight differences in RPM or cornering line can make a difference here. Someone at 8900 RPM in a turn may be more likely to have it than if they were at 6200 RPM, perhaps in a higher gear.
