Never use them myself. Oil changes are pretty easy on the S IMO.

As for oil...

Search and you'll find people using all sorts of brands and weights.

Corn oil works well too. Sometimes I deep fry chicken nuggets and curly fries. Fantastic flavor after revving between 7500-8500 for 3.5 minutes for optimal cooking. don't rev to redline, you'll burn the chicken.

OEM filter

Started with Mobil1, but it burned off quicker than the latter oils I use and a UOA told me that it wore my bearings a bit quicker.

Switched to Amsoil...UOAs looked really good.

Now out of Amsoil, so next oil change will be Motul since it's cheaper and more easily available.

The best oil are the most expensive one you can find. They have to be good since they cost $$$$ more. Why else would they be so expensive? The NSX is better than the S2k that why it cost more so $12 for a bottle of synthetic motor oil has to be better than a $6 bottle.

There is no need to change oil with less than 3k between changes.
