Hi
Yes i have trawled the forums but i get spun from pillar to post.
I have a easy question
I just bought a 2002 S2000 85000 on the clock.
I recently sold a clk 230 komp now the S2000 is due a oil change and in my garage i have a brand new container 5L of Shell Helix Ultra 5W-40 Fully Synthetic Engine Oil SHE-514.
I live in the UK i get the revs up sometimes, i just need to know can i put this oil in the S with no problems, it says its recommended by Ferrari and was recommended for my Merc CLK Kompressor.
Also this oil is on offer in the UK for £28.00 for 5 litres !!
Thanks in anticipation to all the answers, well one answer on topic would be fab
Cheers Mark

That's 15 whp right there.
Read the owners manual 5W-40 "recommendation" and also read between the lines and think again.
It will work.
It will also take some extra hp to pump around (*) but we have enough.....
(*) compared to a xxW-30.

03S2k,02Z06 & 96GST use 0w30 while the 02CRV and 13EXV use 0w20.
