My girlfriend is storing her s2000 as we are getting an 04 accord this friday. She was going to get it serviced prior to putting it into storage but I reckoned it will be a waste of time. I was going to do the major service items on this car but looking around the forum I cant seem to find the service bulletins that used to be here. When she brings it out of storage I shall do the more basic service items such as oil/oil filter/plugs/air filter. I know the car has done over 100k, probably nearer 110k.

Any pointers would be greatly appreciated

 

Coplant is due at 100k, depending on length of storage and the last time the brake/clutch fluid was changed, you may want to consider that.

When was the last time (mileage) the trans/diff changed? Its supposed to be done every 12-15k IIRC

 

Tranny is 30k, 15k diff, valve adjustment new valve cover gasket kit and spark plug tube seals, primary o2 if original, as well as new plugs at 100k. Inspect the pcv valve too. Put shin etsu grease on all boots seals and weather stripping.

Coolant flush every 5 years, and brakes every 2-3, replace clutch fluid in reservoir 4 times a year or bleed yearly.

 

Ive owned my s2k for 12years now and I think the clutch fluid and coolant has only ever been changed once... I think. The girlfriend and I both own an s2000 (both AP1's) so i'll looks like i'll do them in batch mode.

Thanks for the replies

 

If you are going to change the oil immediately after storage, its a better idea to change it before instead. Why leave dirty used oil etching away at bearing surfaces all winter?
