NO! As already stated, Honda auto division has NO proper fluid for this car. The dealer must go to Honda's motorcycle or marine division if they want to stay "Honda".
Read the "Oil Journals".

oil filled mounting damper?

explain
Sir.. YES! SIR!


j/k


Part # 2 & 3 are oil filled mounting dampers.
I'm not sure about part #1 (don't think so)
Now that I have seen the picture I don't think thats it.
Does the oil smell like sulphur?
If so, it's most likely diff oil.

my dealership has a Mobil 1 GL5 SAE 80W-90 oil...they know that the Honda VTM-4 is NOT for the S2000. Maybe it's cause CA has a lot more S2000's so they know what's up?
