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?

I use Mobil 1 10W-30 and i have 90 000ks , But its expensive.

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

I often change mine depending on season too.

Ie. 5w30/40 in Winter and 10w40 in Summer or for Track

Yes it's suitable. Make sure you choose the right viscosity. I believe the F20A can use 0w-30, 5w-30, 10w-30, 0w-40, 5w-40 and 10w-40 viscosities.

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.

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

I use the nulon 10 w 40 as well and Ive found it to be great. it is quite pricey though

I've just recently put in Redline 10w 40 and find that when you pour it into the car it's an actual dark red then when you start running the car it becomes crystal clear like water. Doesn't burn quickly I've done 1500 k's so far and have yet to top up yet where I found that with OEM I would of already used an extra 500ml. I done some research and found the guys in the states swear by redline although it is extremely expensive, 120 odd dollars for US 1 gallon which is 3.785 litres and everyone knows that our cars take 4.8 liters which calls for 2 bottles and a new filter which I chose the K&N. Basically for the performance I don't know if it's really worth $240 for oil but I wanted to try it and might do some more research for oils like royal purple which is highly recommended by other s2000 owners I know.
