Synthetic Oil Use
Anyone out there running synthetic oil in their S2000?
What brand, weight, and frequency of oil changes do
you recommend? I'm a firm believer in synthetic oil
and want to do the same in my 2003.

Most people on S2KI use synthetic oil. You should not change to synthetic for around 7500-10000 miles, or it will take longer to break in your engine. It will also use more oil. Most people agree that you should not do your first oil change until you hit 3500 miles, then change it with Mobil 0 Drive Clean (Conventional Oil). Do the same at 7000 miles.
Don't use anything other than 10W-30.

OK, I can't let this one go.. why do you suggest only 10W30?

I made the statement just because dealerships and lube shops seem to make random recommendations that conflict with Honda's official recommendation (in the owners manual).

As I've said before, we use NEO 0W-5 in all our vehicles. From BMW motorcycles to heavy equipment. I've done this for 20 years and the only benefits are great cold weather starting, cooler running in hot weather, better gas mileage, and longer change intervals. Arguing over SAE weights only shows that you are misinformed. There is no comparison at all between diester based synthetics and conventional petroleum or synthesised hydropcarbon oils (Mobil 1 is in the latter group).
