Does S2000 burn oil?
The engine burning oil is one of the most common problems that a vehicle can encounter, particularly one with high mileage. If your Honda S2000 is burning oil it is typically caused by piston rings or valve guides.
Does Honda S2000 rust?
Honda’s rust protection from the factory was minimal when the S2000 was new, so cars used all year round can corrode without you realising. You also need to inspect behind the rear wheelarch liners for rust as muck and water collects here and corrosion will occur without you seeing it.
What kind of oil do I use for a Honda S2000?
5.1 qts. of your preferred 10w-30 motor oil (or 5w-40 if you will be seeing regular -0F temps) Additionally I use a few things that are optional but might help someone else out as well: Some aluminum (aluminium if you prefer) foil to act as a “bib” around the oil filter (helps keep things somewhat cleaner during removal)
When to change differential fluid in Honda S2000?
Honda recommends 15,000 miles for severe usage while 30,000 miles for normal usage using their Honda MTF. Given my experience after this, I will be replacing the fluid every 10,000 miles with a better synthetic gear oil or every 7,500 miles with the Honda MTF. The drain plug has a weak magnet embedded in it.
What was the problem with the Honda S2000?
The suspension settings were revised slightly, but more importantly, Honda engineers determined that engines subjected to extended periods of high-rpm operation (say, 7000 rpm-plus for more than 30 minutes at a time) could face oil starvation issues and eventually score the cylinder walls, particularly on cylinder #4.
Are there rust stains on the Honda S2000?
Cosmetically, rust isn’t a huge issue although it’s worth having a poke around underneath as Honda’s scrimped on the underseal when the S2000 was new. Other than that, looks out for signs of general abuse and negotiate over things like kerbed wheels and stone chips as well as worn leather seats. Not everyone will be a fan of the S2000.
Where is the oil catch on a Honda S2000?
The oil pan is the bare metal piece of the motor hanging down. The oil drain bolt is located on the passenger side of the oil pan near the front. Here is what it looks like while looking up from the ground after a good coat of road salt is applied. Get your oil catch pan in place. Oil will shoot out about 6-12 inches so place accordingly.

How do you do an oil change on a Honda s2ki?
Generally I check to see that 3 bars or less are showing on the temp gauge (AP2 anyways). First lay two of the 2×4 sections in front of the front wheels. Then get in the car and ease the front wheels onto the “ramps”. This will help make jacking the car a bit easier.
What’s the difference between a 2006 and 2007 Honda S2000?
Cosmetically, the upholstery pattern changed on the seats, and for the first time, the S2000 got one of the Miata’s most recognizable features: a set of four headrest speakers. With the exception of a new red and black upholstery color on Grand Prix White S2000s, there’s no change between the 2006 and 2007 model year.
