Hi,
I bought a wrecked in the butt MY02, i'm getting it finished one of these days. It has around 30K something on it. Now I wanna change everything that there is to change after I get it.
I'm planning into changing, Motor Oil, Tranny Oil, Diff Oil. Motor oil I'll think I'm going mobil 1 synthetic and Diff still don't know wich one. Tranny i'm guessing OEM honda mtf or the redline one.
Now Is it better if I change Clutch Fluid, Brake Fluid, Spark plugs, spark plugs wires (I assume it's called that) break pads, and grease every joint there is to be greased.
Any suggestions what spark plugs to get? Or what are some suggestions you guys can give me. I need to know as much info as possible cause I need to order the things from the US, don't have anything here on the island that I need for MY02.
Any help will be appreciated.
Thx in advance,

Ricardo

just change the motor oil, tranny and diff oil. change the other fluids mentioned at 60k, and th eplugs and wires at 100 k, and i think we have coil packs and not wires, not sure, check brake wear and do accordingly, if they are low, machine the rotors also while you are at it or change them if DIY,

Ball joints on this car are sealed and you cannot grease them in the traditional sense. You can treat the boots with silicone spray though, as well as the CV boots and steering rod boots, but this is not something that needs to be done to get the car in service again. Just change all the major fluids for now and check the tire pressures and radiator level (actually, ALL the fluids levels - clutch and brake too). If the clutch and brake fluids are low, then you may as well go and flush & change those out rather than opening up a new to just top up.

s2000 has no spark plug wires (it uses coil packs, not a distirubtor)

use honda MTF in the transmission, and mobile 75w-90 gear oil in the diff. go with the factory spark plugs (denso or NKG), as for clutch and brake fluid, find the highest boiling point DOT-4 fluid you can find.

Are any of these components new or re-built? If so, then yes, you need to break them in. If not, they have already been broken in a long time ago.
