Jay;
I have used the Mobil 1 filter for several years on various Honda cars without incident, but not on an S2k.
There have been several threads on this board of the this filter 'backing off' (due to high RPM or installer error??) on the S leading to horrific loss of oil.
The stories I read seamed creditable, so for now I'm sticking with the PCX filter.

BD

The Mobil 1 filter is good.. If you can find it. I always have difficulty finding it, so I just order the Amsoil filters online from their website. Just as good (some would argue better than Mobil 1) and easier to get than the Mobil 1.
I'll just be sure to check my oil a little more frequently ... thx for the info...

The people who had the Mobil 1 filter backing off were using the wrong filter. The one specified for the S2000 will not back off. And its an excellent filter.
