I just bought my '03 S2000 with 16k on the odometer. I want to change my fluids (engine oil, tranny fluid, brake fluid, and diff. fluid) to non-Honda fluids. The fluids will be Redline for the tranny and engine, LE607 for the diff., and ATE Super Blue for the brakes. This car still has about a year and a half left on the factory warranty. Will me replacing the fluids with their non-Honda counterparts void the factory warranty?

 

well a dealership could be an ass and try to void anything that breaks that comes in contact with the fluids. however, just don't tell them and they won't know.

 

that would be the same as them voiding it if you used pennzoil. as long as it is API certified 10w-30 they can't void you!

 

Thanks a lot

 

i thought that the manual specifically states that if you change out the tranny fluid to anything other than Honda tranny fluid, you'll void your warranty on that?

as for the other stuff, I dont believe there is any explicit statement about what sorts of fluid..

let me know if I'm wrong

 

You're wrong. It just says that Honda MTF is "preferred". At least in the '01 manual.
