Info on oil change

Royal Purple? Think again.
This is an under-statement. They'll end up putting dual pump fluid in your diff and diff fluid in your tranny.

Don't overlook search. Do you have a manual and maintenance schedule? If not, these can be found online. All your questions are extremely common topics.

10w30 mobil 1 (the regular kind, not the high mileage gold label stuff). I've also never had an issue with losing oil at all. I change my filter and oil every 5k. Check it weekly, but always the same level; be sure to check both sides of the dip stick too. I vtec daily, take sharp turns on power and never have white smoke. I also capped my PCV.

There are better oils for the money, in every aspect.

Be very wary of having this service performed at the dealer. This car is even more prone to dealer issues then most. Almost all Hondas use the same oil filter, diff fluid, etc. But the S2K is different. Add to that most dealers never see S2Ks, its all too easy for them to use the wrong stuff.
Once your car is damaged from this, the dealer will swear its your fault, not theirs. If you do go to dealer, ask for empty fluid containers and carefully check invoice to make sure they used the corfect fluids and filter. Unfortunately its on you to make sure they did this right. So make sure you research on here what the right stuff is first.
