It's the only stuff I've been using. My bottles always came as pictured on Amazon. Make sure it was actually sold by Amazon and not just fulfilled by them.

Says it's sold by Amazon but it doesn't look like on the picture. Looks like pictured on Mobile 1 website but it also has Spanish wording on it

My S is a '06 and I bought it with just under 20k miles on it. Now it has 140k miles and the only gear lube I use is a mix(50/50) of M1 75/90 and M1 75/140. Use it in every vehicle I've had in the last 30 years. From my 520 HP ZR1 to my pickup to my Jeep to my S. I just got off of a 60k mile run on the rear end lube and didn't even have any metal fuzz on the drain plug(yes its still magnetic, I checked) so I don't know if I'll ever change it again in the years to come or just see what it looks like in 80k or 90k miles.

The fill bolt is a bit more difficult to get to even with a crows foot. It is, after all, a fill bolt and not as critical so if you are good at handling a wrench, you should be able to give it a “feel” as to what the proper torque should be. That is what I do. Plus I switched to the drain magnetic bolt on the fill to have the same size and extra magnet it offers.

Check out DIYGuys on youtube. He has a ton of S2000 maintenance videos that are short yet detailed. I just bought an S2000 last month and I've been referencing him when working on it.
