Or go to someone like ATS or Kwak fart and get them to do it either supply or specify the oil/filter you want, and keep your hands clean, watch them tighten the filter though.

O C D !

or as I call it C D O (letters are in the right order then!).

Just drain it as best you can, there is ALWAYS old oil left in the engine unless you crack the engine open and use rags and cotton swabs to get is all out.

How much you ask? On an engine rebuild or new from the factor the engine takes 5.6 liters of oil. An oil and filter change requires 4.8 liters of oil to refill to the top mark. Engine still holds 5.6 liters so 5.6 - 4.8 = 0.8 liters of oil is still in there. A few milliliters more or less won't make much difference. (Metrics used to avoid confusion between US and UK quarts.)

Mine usually need at least one full 5l can.

If you would prefer facts to opinions and guesses, Daytona Dave knows more about the S2000 than every one else on this forum put together so level it is!, as for how much, here's a scan of the page in the HONDA owners handbook as I posted earlier I think HONDA know how much oil the HONDA S2000 needs.

Looks like the numbers I posted... That 0.8 liters of oil ain't gonna drain out unless you use Q-tips (cotton swabs).

I think people are going WAY too far here. Get it fairly level, drain, replace. If your motor is not already chewing itself up (in which case you have metal in your oil and an oil change is the least of your worries), you have a potential of a small amount of old oil (which you will have no matter what to some degree) mixed with a lot more new oil. Some of that mixture will stay next time. Will not cause an issue. Then, fill it up till it is full and you are done. We don't need graduated cylinders, levels, precision scales and scientists involved on the old oil change here

BTW who does the cheapest insurance for the S2000?
