My Ford 3.5 EcoBoost engine has a 10,000 mile oil change schedule (or when the computer says -- mine said so at about 9,000 miles) but, of course, the guys on the Ford websites think Ford engineers are complete idiots and are "recommending" 5000 mile oil changes. The Honda engineers were idiots too, of course. The Internet knows best.

I refreshed all fluids in my S2k when I first got it in May since I had no idea on them aside from engine oil.

Funny I have the opposite as the benefits of flashpro out weigh the negative of the softer suspension on the 08 as suspension bits are easy to swap out to whatever setup you want. I think other things like the fuel system really only come into play if you want to boost the car but I am not that familiar with it. Also compare the DBW system on a completely different car isn't really a fair comparison. Having driven both I found the DMW more responsive due to the larger throttle body size and if you add a tune to it its even better. I will admit it is hard to beat the fun of revving the car out to 9k but AP2's have a lot of reliability benefits over AP1's especially the early 00-01 cars. In the long run either will be fun and I would suggest maybe trying to test drive a few in quick successions so you can more evenly compare them.

I agree. My S2000 is stock and it's more fun than my e90 M3 with Dinan mods (even though the M3 will blow it away in every category aside from MPG). The S2000 just has "driving drama" down to an art.
