- Опубликовано: 2 авг 2021
- We see lots of S2000s with very low miles that haven't had any maintenance.
Even with only 18,000 miles, this is 15 years old.
Here's a few things that we recommend and some tips and tricks on how to do them.

Thanks for the comments. I enjoy sharing info and glad it helps for the DIY guy.
For the cabin filter you can use a 5mm socket on the clips and it compresses them just right so they pop out.
Honestly probably the most informative videos on youtube. Thank you so much
I always get excited when you guys post a video. I watched savagegeese review Matt’s Si you guys built the engine in and they raved how awesome the tuning was. You guys don’t get the attention you deserve on RUclips.
Thanks buddy. I would have gone with a normal length GSR shifter. But that combo was good.
That s2k is MINT!!!!!!!!!! It's like straight out of the showroom...
Nice oil filter remover, I have the same thing!!
First!😉 Best S2k-Channel on RUclips!👍🏻 Best regards from Germany!🇩🇪
Every time I hear "super easy" I wait for the follow up of "barely an inconvenience". Thanks a lot Ryan from Pitch Meeting
Always a learning experience watching your vids.
Super helpful! Thanks for sharing your competence and passion
Thanks for sharing and giving me a good start for the day.😎😎😎
Packed full of information, great reference video. Thanks!
Love y’all, thanks for the serpentine belt tip.
I own an 08 CR that needs this. Thank you. Subscribed.
You are a master Technician I love in showing love from Tampa
I bought that oil filter removal tool after I watched a video where you recommended previously and it works great! 👍
Solid. I am doing the brake flush and coolant on my 2015 SI next week. Thank you for reminding me of the clutch fluid 😁
Thank you! lol, now I can do all this myself. Good production quality as well.
Excellent video and very helpful today, got a 2001 AP1 with 17K miles a few weeks ago. Merry Xmas from Puerto Rico.
Amazing video..
Great job . John/ George
It's nice to see you guys take the time to go over everything.
Btw . I also have that oil filter tool .
And it works incredible. & I've used it for years .
Once again awesome video.
( xb release )
I bought mine 3 months ago at 12K, gonna be doing all this next week! LHT and DIYguys have been a great source of information for me.
Niice Example of Care in this Mint S2k 👌
Good video as per normal. Thanks. The filter tool works fine for Honda size filters. I have cars with larger filters so I need an additional larger tool. I use the large pliers type. Not bothered about crushing the old filter as it is going to the bin!
Hey John. What a wealth of information all in one video.👍 Every S2000 owner should watch and use this for reference. Back in the forum days, this would be a "sticky post" right at the top. About that cabin filter... most cabin filters are located inside the cabin. Honda should have called this one the outhouse filter.😁 Great video, guys. Have a great day.
Love the Vids- I need to swing by soon and hope I can catch ya - I've got a 2000 AP1 with 30K on it- Thanks Craig in Trinity, FL
Certified..
.they don't even bother changing air filter 🙄
You guys n gals rock 👍
Very excited to hopefully get a similar maintenance service on my GPW CR with you all. I’ve been speaking to Esther over the past few weeks trying to see if I can get an appointment or cancellation since I’m local in Orlando. Fingers crossed!
We should be able to make it happen. Looking forward to it. It makes a noticeable difference too.
Thanks! Just followed this for my diff fluid. The old fluid still looked good, but now I have piece of mind. You're right, the diff fluid smells pretty bad.
Great. Piece of mind goes a long way.
Love LHT. The best. Hopefully people watching know that the drain plug washers face a certain way when installing 🤓
CLEAN!
Once my new 2008 gets here from Cali I'd like you to do this.
This video is so timely for me that I'd give you 2 thumbs up if RUclips would let me.
10 years or 100k miles is the service interval on the Honda blue coolant. I bought my S2K with 17k miles on it a few years ago and the coolant looked good. Went ahead and replaced it anyways because it was 15 years old.
8:55 Pressing underneath with a 5mm socket will pop the clips out without damaging them.
I was just going to make the same comment. That trick saved me from breaking a lot of clips! Great shortcut!
Hi, love the videos. Been a great help in getting my S2000 into top condition. I notice in this video you use Mobile 1 75W-140 in the diff. In video a few years ago you used the Mobile 1 75W-90. I used the 75W-90, wondering if I should now change out to 75W-140? Car is generally used for normal everyday driving. Any thoughts? Please Keep the S2000 videos coming. Thanks.
Thanks buddy. We changed to 75W 140 as per Ben from Puddy Mod recommendation. It’s a little more money but does offer a little more protection.
The S2000 reference worldwide. Thanks.
I just got ap2 s2000 . Thanks for the information. That’s really helpfully . What’s your recommendation for the high performance street brake pad?
Awesome mine is around 19k right now
I wish you guys would go on a US tour and come through my area haha
We may do a meet and greet again. We stay too busy in the shop to get out and do working tours. Lol.
Wow didn’t know the cabin filter was located there. Hondas usually have in near the glove box.
They usually are in the cabin.
Hi John, it looks like recently the oem honda filter is now a new part number and made in Thailand. Do you think it's less quality when compared to the previous 15400-PCX-004 ?
What happened to the video where you installed a turbo on an s2000
I worry. You make me think I can do all that myself. :) Just took ownership of my red 06 with 60k on the clock. Time to get busy. First up air box mod, new air and cabin filters from K and N. I vacuumed a cup and a half of dcon mouse poison pellets out of the filter box and the baffle beyond the little door.
Thank you lads for a great service vid...... Can I ask if you or any viewers have the owners manual/books etc for a 2002 S2000?
I bought mine a few months ago and the books went "missing" between my buying and receiving the car ..... Any help appreciated... Thanks
Of course buddy . We’re a community and most will help.
Thank you 😁😁😁
What transmission fluid do you guys use for k series specifically k20z3 trans? Ive had 3 k series transmission but just always end up using oem fluid.
I haven’t tried it in the K trans. I couldn’t tell you if there’s an improvement or not.
nice 👍🏽💥💥
I have read that the first wheel brake cylinder to flush/bleed would be the one furthest from the brake master cylinder. (right rear ) The next would be left rear, then right front, then left front.
I heard the moon is made of cheese. However, neither is correct. 👍🏻
@@LHTPerformance The brake bleeeding sequence that I mentioned above are written in the Haynes manuals for my two vehicles.
@@RichW240 The sequence we use comes from the Honda S2000 shop manual. It’s different from other Hondas.
I've always used Pennzoil Synchromesh with my Honda transmissions, is the Royal Purple version basically the same thing?
I think It’s very similar , I haven’t tried them back to back.
Basic maintenance, doesn't get any easier than that. Still amazes me how people neglect it so much.
I always used Mobil 1 Oil Filter thinking that would be the best...from now on i will use the Honda OEM.....just wanted to know what you guys thought about the Mobil 1 oil filter Vs the OEM?
I don’t have anything against the Mobil 1 filter, I would just choose OEM given the choice.
John, gotta love a car that's allowed to collect cobwebs ;) A weekend warrior, I'd guess?
The only problem with webs usually means spiders. I got bit on the forehead a few years ago. I still have the hole / scare to remember it by. Lol.
@@LHTPerformance At least there weren't 'Gators ;)
@@bvward lol. Yes.
John, I love your channel,
You use the world translucent where you should be using transparent.
Please know i'm not being critical, just trying to be helpful.
Thank you for all the great information you and George provide.
trans·lu·cent
1 : permitting the passage of light: a : transmitting and diffusing light so that objects beyond cannot be seen clearly. b : clear, transparent translucent water.
Lol. I failed English is school, I was also born and lived in England till 23. Maybe I should quit yapping and put music in there. 🤣🤣🤦♂️
Do you recommend OEM or K&N as a replacement filter?
We’ve had good luck with the K+N. Some customers want OEM only. I use OEM on my cars
I have 128,000 miles on my 03s2000 what oil you recommend for this mileage
I already use your royal purple recommendation for transmission and it feels way better
‘What oil ‘ is a never ending debate, a debate I stay out of. If you’re in a colder climate I would go with 5W 30, in a hotter climate 10W 30 or 10W 40. Go with a name brand oil you prefer
I stay LA California I usually do 10w30 mobil im new to the s2000 everyone always recommended your video so i look up to you for wats right sins royal purple worked on my transmission
@@Franks_ventures I use Mobil 1 in all of my stuff.
Any one know the estimated cost for these services if provide all oils/filter to the shop?
Two years ago the Mobile 1 oil change with filter was $65. The differential fluid service with mobil 1 90w-140 was $64.99. Transmission fluid with Royal purple was $59.95. The total with tax was 203.24. I don't see you saving much by buying your own oil and filter when you already have them doing the service.
@@tomjones5166 Just in case they dont use oem parts (oil filter, spark plugs etc) for peace of mind. Thanks for the info.
Royal purple recommends their motor oil not their gear oil for Honda transmission.... Any thoughts? Not trying to pick a fight but start a discussion. ✌️
I’m sharing what I’ve tried and run in my own car. Motor oil is too thick for a trans.
@@LHTPerformance then it seems both of them are good. 08 Civic SI with 5w30 Royal purple in the engine and the gearbox 200,000k no issues. Just started the same routine on a 2015 Accord 6-6
Disclaimer: I have not watched the entire video. Slow data speed where I am at the time of this comment.
I suggest sticking with Honda's maintenance schedules in the 2000-2008 S2000 Service Manual either for normal conditions (highway driving; 7,500 mile intervals) or severe conditions (spirited driving, dusty roads; 3,750 mile intervals), starting with as if the S2000 had 0 miles on the ODO. The maintenance minder on '06-'08 models may not always be correct or its factory mile intervals per item may have been tampered with.
Normal:
Engine oil & oil filter changes every 7,500 miles
Engine air filter every 30,000 miles
Cabin air filter every 30,000 miles
Differential fluid every 30,000 miles
Spark plugs every 105,000 miles (unlikely, my personal suggestion is 60,000 miles)
Valve clearance check/adjustment every 105,000 miles (unlikely, my personal suggestion is 60,000 miles)
Manual transmission fluid every 6 years/120,000 miles (unlikely, my personal suggestion is 60,000 miles.)
Coolant every 5 years or 60,000 miles (this car is from 2006, surely 10 years have already passed which is the time limit before the factory coolant must be changed.)
Severe:
Engine oil & oil filter every 3,750 miles
Engine air filter every 15,000 miles
Cabin air filter every 15,000 miles
Differential fluid every 15,000 miles
Spark plugs every 60,000 miles
Valve clearance check/adjustment every 60,000 miles
Manual transmission every 60,000 miles
Coolant every 5 years/60,000 miles.
Both: Brake & clutch fluid every 2-3 years independent of mileage.
Different opinions are welcome.
That S2000 is probably worth $25-30,000 in todays market. That’s incredibly low mileage on a very sought after vehicle.
More than that.
More like $32-35k, easily. The prices have went way up since Honda formally announced they weren't planning on making a S2000 predecessor. :)
More like $45k
@@z32luvr that's GPW with red interior premium, not formula red...
is that a Ferrari
Ehhhh….S2000 😐
Yes
Ferraris are. 😎
you need to wear gloves
I hate wearing those dealership gloves. I’ve tried them can’t find any that don’t split as soon as you use them
