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?



California Residents: if anyone is looking to get a quote from Farmers, let me know. i personally know a farmers agent that will do all she can to lower your rates. my insurance with state farm was 4200 a year with a clean record for a 2006 rsx type-s and a 15/30/15 liability. Now it is 2200 a year with 100/300/100 liability with everything else at the same coverage and i also have life insurance, which is covered under the 2200.

edit: it's now 1600 a year.

o really? hope the s2k filter here stays the same price haha. when they first introduced it it was like 30$ but now its like a regular filter price.
