Oil for S2000

[fromdeeeast]

Well its time for me to change my oil (been 5000ks) and am thinking of changing to a new oil or seeing what others use.

Since Ive had the car (20,000kms ive put on) I have serviced it with FEO from Honda and well found that it is a bit pricey. I know its good, I like it but I'm thinking for $50 I could get something better.

What do people recommend using on an s2000?

Basically I'm after:
- Reasonably priced
- Good quality
- Doesn't burn easily (Nulon burns easily!)
- Good for a car that has 150,000kms.

Thanks guys!

Just throw some Edge sport 5W-30 in it if you were using FEO and want something around $50.

I use the Nulon 10W-40 fast flowing synthetic stuff.
it does a good job as far as I can tell, but you're not kidding, it does burn easily.

Mmmm is something fully synthetic suitable for an s2000?

Yes it's suitable. Make sure you choose the right viscosity. I believe the F20C can use 0w-30, 5w-30, 10w-30, 0w-40, 5w-40 and 10w-40 viscosities.

Edit: Fixed typo

f20a was used in accords and such, you mean the f20c.

also im using castrol edge sport 5w-30 (dc2r just under 100,000kms) and it burns more then what it burnt on the feo honda 10w-30 mineral stuff.

Yeah, F20c, I made a typo.

Technically Edge 5w30 should burn a little faster than FEO 10w30.
I'm using Edge and i'm loosing roughly half litre every 1000k but my H22A4 engine has almost 240,000km.
I may try Valvoline Synpower 5w40 later on...

exactly coz its comes from the earth being a mineral based oil

Do you find it burns alot or not? How do you find it overall?

Usually have to top it up at least once between an oil change, quite good.

Fully synthetic and seems like a great oil...... Have not had a problem yet.
