No Fram. Plenty of nasty stories here of poor construction.
I use OEM PCX. I've used Mobil 1 before too, but not in the S2K after Billman had one in his shop with a M1 filter that made engine noise at idle until he switched back to pcx.

I USE THE OEM HONDA FILTER.
IT WAS SPECIFICALLY DESIGNED BY HONDA FOR THE S2000.
YOU CAN ORDER THEM FROM HARDTOPGUY.COM
oh, please stop yelling.

People have had problems with Mobil 1.

Purolator Pure One, K&N and the proper Honda filters are good choices.

fram does indeed have really poor construction. i've changed out hundreds of oil filters and lately the fram filters have been crunching (without excessive torque). on my s2000 i had a pin hole on my filter and covered my engine bay in oil. i said f@#* it and paid the extra dinero for the honda one. the construction is a 1000 times better but only four bucks more.

I run Purolator Pure One filters in all my cars below.

My 03S takes PL14459.If I can't find the PL,I also have used the Wix 51334.Both or good.

Bosch=M1 if I remember correctly, and it is not better than the PCX filter. There has been extensive discussion on this subject if you search.
