Im an amsoil dealer if anyone is interested in that
Is it better to buy through you or locally? I'd love to support a member if it makes financial sense (i.e. do shipping costs nullify savings if buying through you). Thanks!

I run Dino oil, why?
S2ks burn oil and synthetic burns alot easier then non-synthetic (makes for less gunk build-up if your burning less oil).
I religiously change my oil every 2500-3000 miles.
The only advantage you can get out of synthetic oil is its heat tolernace/extended life. On this note I can see synthetic being a better option for a turbocharged s2k.
In the end my oil is half the cost, barely gets 'burned-up' by the engine, and works just as good in my near-stock engine.
If I were to run synthetic I would atleast go with a fluid better then mobil1.

As for the clutch question... No direct use w/ those brands on a s2000 but I had a ACT flywheel and clutch on my b16 and they performed flawlessly, my friend had an excedy on his prelude and had problems with it(chatter, slipping, and poor engagement) up until he sold the car so I would say got with the ACT. BTW Mobile 1 synth FTW.
