I'm more than fine with it, and dealers mentioned in regular posts on here are recommending it, as does my dealer, since the dealer has changed from Reg Vardy to Springfield he has gone from Castrol to Shell as you state but the NSX mechanic who services mine commended my use of Mobil 1 (I bought it cheaper than the Helix they now tip into everything from the 1.4 civic to the NSX unless the owners asks why they are charging a 100% mark-up).

Apparently the problem with the pure synthetics is when the engine is cold they don't protect as well.
My dealer has three NSX mechanics and they all told me to stick to the Helix when I enquired about using Mobil 1.

What sort of fitness programme do you follow Perhaps you could post a copy of your diet sheet!!
P.S. do you attribute all this success to the S2000

Congrats,
One suggestion though, you might want to consider buying some static cling and 'tinting' your back window. It looks good, but the main benefit is that you don't need the tube. No disrespect to Muz (I own his Muzmat which is great btw) but I think this is the best rear window solution as I don't have to get out of my car anymore everytime I lower the top. Rear window has very little creasing and/or scratches. It costs about $5 here in the states. Enjoy!
