Yet another almost 4,000 lb. boat on wheels courtesy of GM. I honestly can't fathom how this is the same company that developed the Z06.

sprintman is right on the money. LE know their $hit. Their LE607 gear fluid is the only thing I'll use in my S2000's differential.

If you do a search on honda-tech and s2ki.com (an S2000 devoted online discussion community) you will find many that praise the GMSFM (GM Synchromesh Friction Modified) but you will find more that denounce it. It has caused transmission issues with a number of S2000 trannys and I prefer not to...

Mine REALLY love the OEM "PCX" Toyo Roki oil filter specifically made for the S2000. The construction is night and day above the OEM "PLM" Filtech made filter and is all I'll use on my two CRX's.

Where would it be "back spec'd" at?

I do know the difference between tranny fluid and diff fluid. Perhaps I should have specified that the recommendations for the S2000 are a 75W-90 GL-4 gear fluid. I've just always called tranny fluid "gear fluid" and diff fluid...well that. The diff for that car requires an SAE 90 GL-5. So, the...

I just picked up a 1990 Honda CRX Si to use as my new fun to drive beater for the next few years. Luckily the previous owner had picked up a copy of the Helms manual sometime during ownership and passed it on to me with the car. I changed out the engine oil yesterday and this afternoon I did the...

I'm running GC in my S2000 and the Elves scream like they're on a rollercoaster when I go VTEC.

Oh my goodness...the Toyota guy. I could never forget that wacko.

My S2000 calls for 5.1 at fill or 5.7 at overhaul but I pour in 6 each change and it still just barely reaches the top of fill line on the dipstick.

I picked up around 50 in the Houston area over the past weekend. Most is 04 but I have at least one case of 03.

I've been researching other forums for this topic and found this quote: "Engines need the flow ability of a light weight motor oil and the thermal breakdown protection of a heavier oil, thus the use of "multi-weight motor oil. Honda recommends 10w-30 for this car. I use 5w-30 in the winter and...

Perhaps a bit of extra info regarding my driving habits may help. This is not my daily driver. When I take this car out it is for a minimum 30 minute drive. I don't redline every gear each time I get the chance but I would say that I indeed drive aggressive only after the oil is up to spec. I...

Thank you all for the feedback so far. I'm leaning towards taking the majority advice here and possibly sticking with 10W-30 at least for one more oil change so I can run a few UOA's and see how everything is going. Out of all the spec sheets I looked at, if I were to go the route of 5W-40, I...

I found this chart last night looking around but you have to use babelfish to translate it from Japanese to English. http://tottan.at.infoseek.co.jp/oil.html http://world.altavista.com/babelfish/tr I like the Japanese marketing on some of these products. Read the translated descriptions in...
