Default OIL CHANGE

[COLOR=blue]

I am due on my oil change, can someone here tell me what the car takes and what oil brand you use in your car? I want the good type not cheap crap.

Thanks,
Roderick

I would strongly discourage from using the any other filter than the PCX-004 honda filter specific for the s2000. There was a thread somewhere describing the differences.

I would recommend any synthetic 10W-30 oil. The car will take in about 5.5qts, if changing the oil filter.

It's full synthetic right? 5w30 or 10w-30, which one is it?

Check your owner's manual. A 5W30 is not the recommended oil. 10W30 is. I believe a 5W40 might be OK if 10W30 is not readily available. For a place like Florida, I wouldn't use 5W30. I only use it during the winter when the temps typically get down to -25*C or colder.

I use the k&n racing oil filter and it works fine for me. Its the most expensive also so you know its good! I use mobile one for my oil, I use 10w-30, its the green label on the mobile one bottle.

The oil change is the same with other cars, right? No special tool required?
