I've got almost 2k miles since changing to amsoil tranny fluid. Honestly it feels the same as before.. Can't really tell a difference anymore

When used in a 1:1 ratio with Honda MTF to remedy a special ailment, like the second gear deceleration pop out on an AP2 tranny, it lasts between 1 and 2 years or about 10K miles. If there are no special tranny problems, Amsoil may be on the overkill side purely due to price but then, how often would the "normal" S2000 need a fluid change?

Been using 1 quart of amsoil and the rest honda mtf for about 4 years. Corrected my second gear pop out when decelerating. Replace fluid every 2 years or when the 2nd gear pop out starts to occur again.
