Yes, 5w50 is too heavy for the S2k. 10w30 is recommended. 10w40 at most.

I'm using the Mobil 1 10-30 with the Comptech kit too.
Presumed this should be ok.
I ran 5-50 once.... Car ran like crap. Swapped it out myself no more than 2000kms later.
I just ordered 10 litres from Honda in Frankston this morning. Doing the gearbox and diff too this weekend all genuine.
Good prices and they have always been good to me there with my other Hondas. Correct me if I am wrong, but Honda are a mineral oil? I change my engine oil every 5000km anyway.

Sorry but what's the 'Comptech kit'?Quote:

that's about a 40% gain.....that's not bad!Quote:

But you should see what a turbo can do. 75-100% is not unobtainable.
Motul 300V Chrono 10w-40 (Spoon Sports recommend this for there engines)!
Double Ester $120 for a 4L and a 2L Bottle. :D
Used this on my DC5R for track and now on the S2000. Changed every 3-5K km.
Revs feel very smooth and loves revving to 9K. A lot better then Mobil 1 Gold Bottle. Which is $80 for 5L.
royal purple 10-40 here. Dont know if its just my head playing tricks but the car does feel like it revs smoother than when i was using the Elf oil?
oh yea, and the oil is actually purple!
how about 0w20 FEO?
seen a bottle of that in a 4L metal container at my local Honda parts dept some 2 years ago, it was about $80-90 and the parts guy said it's for the S2000. Unlike the 10w30 mineral oil made by an australian petroleum company bottled in a container with a Honda/FEO sticker; this one is fully syn imported from Japan.
