I finally bought one yesterday!!!! I was originally planning on getting a CR, but after looking at everything with taxes/fees it was just going to be a bit over budget....

I ended up purchasing a 08 Honda S2000 Laguna Blue!!!!!!!


Any advice for break in?

How many miles before tracking?

Should I do the first oil change early? I know some recommend getting your first oil change after 1k or 2k miles because metal shavings and such may end up in oil pan after breaking in.

 

Congrats and a beautiful color choice, I always liked that and the monte carlo blue.

 

Congrats you have a wonderful car. If your breaking it in, i wouldn't redline it anytime soon, but check with the owners manual or some more senior members as far as protocol would go.

Post some pictures when you get a chance!

 

I love that color

 

@ 3k with dino oil will do just fine.

 

Congrats on your new s2k!! i also like that color .... for breaking in, just dont push it or get near redlining. post some pics when you can!!

 

When I purchased my 06(new), changed the oil at 5k to regular dino oil(I used Castrol GTX). Then at 10k miles, switched to Mobil 1 full synthetic. As for breaking it in, just be gentle for a little bit.

 

Check the owner's manual for break-in advice.

 

I'm on the exact same plan. I havent gotten to 10k or had the oil change indicator warn me yet.

 

i would consult the owners manual for break in period and the shift points. changing the oil is up to you. some wait till 1k, some wait till 3k, and some wait till the maintenance minder. i personally did mine at 1k. either way congrats on the purchase!
