Changing engine oil

Engine oil change intervalls
The owners and service manual recommends the following intervalls:
- Normal driving conditions: Every 12.000km / 7.500miles or 1 year (which ever comes first)
- Harsh driving conditions: Every 6.000km / 3.750miles or 6 months (which ever comes first)
Most owners drive their S2000 only during the summer months and do a service (which includes an engine oil change) during the winter.
This means a service every 6 months and usually within 6.000km.

Recommended engine oil filter
It is highly recommended to only use the OEM filter with the part numer "15400-PCX-004".
There are several other options to choose from (even from Honda) but it seems like other filters can't keep up with the high oil flow speed that the F20C engine has.
