I stick have the OEM tranny fluid in it, changing it this weekend, it has about 13k on it (wanted to change it at 10k but I'm lazy), so if anyone wants me to send it in I will.
I also did a UOA on the stock trans oil...

RICKS, or hardtopguy both sell LE607. id say it outdoes mobil by about 9000 times.
it literally is the sickest fluid for our diff.

You can buy LE 607 from Rick's or HTG. You'll need 1 quart, but buying more is more cost effective. I received a recent order from Rick's in about 3 days.
Another gear oil that looks promising for the S2000 is AMSOIL SG 75W-110, especially for those folks that drive their car during very cold winter days.
