Bear in mind that if he hasn't got any experience of S2000s, his advice should be taken with caution - these are pretty bespoke cars, with a bespoke engine - even when compared to the K20.

Stay away from Mobil 1.

Is there a particular reason as to why Mobil is a bad choice? I have had a quick search but haven't seen a real answer as to why. Apologies if I have missed it.

Reason I ask is that I have used Mobil Super 3000 5w40 HC Synthese on my last two oil changes.

Don't mean to hijack your thread mate, just curious and wondering if I should get the oil changed now.
