Default First oil change and some other ?'s

I'm new to the forum and new to the s2000. It's a pretty sweet car so far. I have read some postings and I hope I am not offending anyone by asking a probably repeated question but here goes.
What kind of oil should I use? How many quarts? Should I use Honda oil filters in the future?
Also, I am thinking about getting a cold air intake and am curious as to which ones are recommended by s2000 owners. Thanks in advance for your responses.

Check out the "FAQ's" and "Oil Journals" at the top of the "Technical" section of UTH. Lots of "How To's" and oil info of all kinds there. But in a nutshell --
10W30 dino oil till you break it in and stop consuming oil, the you can go synthetic after that if you like.
About 5.5 qts. on a change with filter.
Honda filter specifically for the S2000 recommended (also sold here in the marketplace store) but the "Oil Journals" will give your more info.

CAI -- Try a search for "AEM", Injen, Comptech, PRM, Spoon snorkel.
