10-30 synthetic if you can. and just use the OEM oil filter.
If the trans has never been changed then def do it. Otheriwse I like to change mine every 15K or so.

Mobil 1 10w-30 full synthetic and OEM oil filter. Our engines burn through oil quickly so be sure to check it as much as you can.

Mobil 1 was the OEM Honda oil which is why it is my choice. You can get the OEM oil filter at any certified Honda dealership. Just go to the parts windows.

The OEM filter is good,but IMO Wix and Purolator Pure One are equally as good and are available at most auto parts places.I use Wix on all my cars listed below.The S2K takes the Wix 51334.

On the oil....I personally prefer Amsoil AZO Signature Series 0w30.

I use that site but with shipping it might be more expensive in the long run.

I am also not in the same country as you.

Have you read this thread?

I would never recommend taking your car to the dealer.
