OEM is good. Any high quality name brand filter is good too. Just make sure it's about the same size as the S2000 filter, and not a small one like the civic filters.

I'm back to OEM filters. I figure that the OEM is one of the following- 1.Best, 2. better than average, 3. average.
I'm going to accept that the OEM is better than average and also accept that even though it may only be averege , it's good enough. Days are gone when new car mfgs suggested that the filter be changed with every other oil change which was strange since I've never heard of anyone who followed this mfg recommendation. When we average only 5-6k between changes of both oil and filter, I figure OEM is at minium, all this car will ever need.

My local oreilly auto parts store had a deal where if you purchase five quarts of roya purple you would get a free k&n filter. So far it's been fine. I never put too much though into oil filter. They all should do the job.
