Default Best Oil To Use

Just a quick one wondering what is the best oil to use for my 04 s2000 in terms of brand and mix (synthetic/semi-synthetic etc), cheers.

Oh no....another oil thread.NO ONE knows what oil is best...but there are a lot of good oils out there.

All of my 5 cars listed below have used Amsoil since 1st Oil Change....a combined total of 457k miles AND 50+ years of combined service.

03S2K,02Z06 &96GST use Amsoil 0w30 while the 02CRV and 13EXV use Amsoil 0w20.

In general, synthetic is better than dino. Not all synthetics (or at least what is allowed to be called synthetic) are truely equal.

In general, for high revving precisely machines motors like ours, the lower the first number the better.

So a good quality 0w-30 full synthetic is an excellent choice. There are other choices. Modern oils are so good, unless you pick something really inappropriate, and change it often enough, you will be fine.
