Maintenance Schedule on the S2000

1. 60,000 Miles or 4 Years

If you want your S2000 to provide you with many years of reliable service, one of the most important things you can do is adhere to a proper maintenance schedule. And it's a fairly easy thing to do if you're even reasonably handy with a wrench and basic tools. Simply follow this handy list that forum member 3ngin33r1 graciously put together in this thread, and you'll be enjoying that legendary Honda reliability for many years to come!

Note: Honda recommends changing your oil every 7,500 miles under normal operating conditions and every 3,750 miles under extreme conditions. Extreme conditions are defined as spending most of your driving time under one or more of the following conditions:

Trips of less than 5 miles (less than 10 in freezing weather) 
Extremely hot weather (over 90 degrees F) 
Extensive idling or stop-and-go driving 
Trailer towing, driving with a car-top carrier or driving in the mountains 
Muddy, dusty, or de-iced roads 

Extreme operating conditions also call for additional maintenance at every other oil change, which is noted below each mileage interval.

Also be sure and check your tire inflation and condition at every oil change!
