Royal Purple claims to be the best. Everyone's got their own opinion on which oil go with. Just go synthetic oil and you'll be good. As for tranny fluid, I always went with Honda MTF.

i use mobil 1 oil and mobil 1 filter. Costs me about 30-35 dollars every 5000 miles.

I used to use s2000 filters, but the price on them got raised from about 7 dollars to ~14 dollars. That's a bit much for me, so I went with the mobil 1 filter my last oil change which was about 10 dollars.

Does anyone know if the s2000 mobil 1 filter will fit on the k20z1?
