Engine Oil for the S2000

**garett** · 13-02-2011 11:34 AM

just changed the oil in my s2000 for the first time

have to say its a great car to work with. oil bucket sitting under the sump plug also seems to be in the perfect position for the drain off from the oil filter.
everything is easy to access and easy to do. ! love working on a car which has had everything thought of and placed somewhere for a reason.

How much litres of oil should I b pouring using feo 10w30 and is it necessary to fill the oil filter half way?
Any help would b great. Cheers

nah, would be very hard to do. you will be pouring it all out when your screwing it back onto the block anyway.
my car took a bit over 4.2 L i think

It may be personal preference but I fill the filter half way - the filtration medium inside the filter absorbs a lot of the oil that you pour in which stops it from pouring out when you screw it onto the block.

i guess it cant hurt. just don't really see the point.

as soon as you start the engine it will pump oil through it.

air locks dont occur in the oil system as they would in the cooling system.
