Default synthetic oil anyone?
do you guys think it would be more beneficial for the S2000 engine with over 48K to start using synthetic oil???

Oil is oil no matter what kind is. Regular conventional oil is just fine but if it makes you feel better than go ahead and put in synthetic. Like my dad always tells me...... "we went 100 years without synthetic oil and cars were just fine".

very true but on the other side of the coin, synthetic oils will allow your engine to be MORE efficient then just fine. nothing wrong with conventional oil. just that synthetic is better.

it's like, cotton bed sheets are good but satin sheets are......mmmmm.
