However, the S-2000 specifies HONDA MTF (Manual Transmission Fluid) and warns that regular engine oil doesn't have the additives needed to facilitate smooth shifting. I imagine that there are some lines of synthetic that would provide the correct performance, but it becomes harder to select the right product since MTF doesn't have an SAE rating for comparison.
Amsoil does make ATF (Automatic Transmission Fluid), but you don't want to put this in an S-2000.

Something to keep in mind, your warrantee might be affected if you use Redline or Amsoil. They might be better than the rest but they are not SJ SH certified and the manual recommends an oil with a SJ or SH rating. Something to consider.

In addition, Amsoil has an interesting warranty. If your engine fails and the manufacturer warranty is denied because of the oil, then Amsoil will cover your warranty. This is provided that you use their complete engine system of: air filter, oil filter, and engine oil. You can check their web site for details. I know they have an oil filter that fits the S-2000, but I'm not sure if they have an air filter - so that might be a concern if you want all your bases covered.
