Yep, that sounds like good advice.

Just did the first change on mine and it took 5.426 quarts. No joke.

Wrong! Look on page 166 in your S2000 owners manual. It clearly states the following:

6. Refill the engine with the recommended oil. Engine oil change capacity (including filter): 5.1 US quarts

5.1 is right, but since i have a charger and like for it to sit in the top line.. its about 5.5. The dipstick from low to high is 1 quart.

I'm not joking, I'm telling you what it took to fill it after an oil and filter change
