You pretty much want to replace all fluids. There is a good chance a bunch of seals will have dried out, I had a similar issue on my Porsche. I ran I believe some seafoam or other magic leak stop formula and it dried up the leaks pretty good.

I'm not saying you shouldn't change the oil, but oil should be fine as long as the system was not open to moisture. Oil does not lose its properties after 2 years, or even 25 years. But you can open the valve cover and brush some oil on the valvetrain.

What everyone else said. Change out the fluids, replace the battery and get some new tires on it. Check the entire car to make sure there are no leaks or chewed/frayed wires before you start her up.

Hopefully it all works out! Enjoy!!

Actually instead of brushing it on just check the oil level and add what is needed. chances are it is down some adding it will lubricate the top end before you try to start it. But DO change ALL the fluids ASAP.

wow it was outside for 2 years unused? Was it covered? Definitely check for mice damage...mice try to move into my S2000 after just 1 week or not driving it! I have to keep mouse poison under the hood of every vehicle I own now if it's not being daily driven.

the fuel would be in pretty rough shape, the fuel in the tank and the fuel lines up to the injectors and fuel rail. If it was my purchase I would remove the injectors and have them sent out for cleaning. I would first run the fuel out and re-fill with fresh fuel. If you aren't up for that then run a good dose of fuel injector cleaner and fuel system cleaners in the existing tank as best as you can. The injectors on the S2000 seem to stick very easily due to deposits and lots of people have had issues with injectors and misfires.
