You can go to Opie oils web site and type in you cars spec; ie, Honda S2000 and thier magical computer brain will tell you what options are available.

I have just taken delivery of fluids from Opie after doing this and also speaking to 2 of the people there who recommended the following :-

Thanks for the mail.

Plenty of choice for the engine, 10w-30 is just one of the recomended grades. In the UK we tend to recomend 5w-30 or 5w-40 synthetic. If you want the best then the Motul 300v or the Silkolene Pro S are it as these are ester based.

The Motul Gear300 will be fine in the diff despite it not being lsd approved, over it I tend to suggest the SIlkolene Syn5 75w-90 as this is lsd ready.

For the gearbox you will need an MTF, Motul dont have much int he way of these. I would look at the Amsoil Synthetic MTF or the Redline MTL, both very good synthetic MTF oils.

Cheers
