How much oil does a S2000 take?

The Honda S2000’s 2.0-liter F20C engine typically requires about 4.2 to 4.4 quarts (roughly 4.0 to 4.2 liters) of engine oil when performing an oil and filter change.


The exact amount can vary slightly depending on whether you change the oil filter and the specific model year. In practice, most technicians and owner guides cite 4.4 quarts (about 4.2 liters) with a new filter, with roughly 4.0 quarts (about 3.8 liters) if you’re not replacing the filter. Always verify the final level with the dipstick after the engine has run and the oil has settled.


Oil capacity specifics


Here is a straightforward breakdown of the capacity figures most commonly cited by manuals and enthusiasts. A quick note: these numbers refer to a standard oil change with the filter replaced.



  • With filter: 4.4 quarts (approximately 4.2 liters)

  • Without filter: about 4.0 quarts (approximately 3.8 liters)


After pouring in the oil, run the engine for a minute, stop, wait for the oil to settle, and then recheck with the dipstick to avoid overfilling or underfilling. The dipstick will indicate the correct level once the oil pressure has built up and the oil has had time to circulate.


Oil type and general guidance


Along with quantity, the right oil grade is important for the S2000’s high-revving performance. Use a high-quality synthetic or synthetic-blend oil, selecting the viscosity per your climate and the manual. In many markets, a 5W-30 synthetic is commonly used, but always follow Honda’s specification for your specific model year and region.



  • Viscosity guidance: commonly 5W-30 synthetic for most climates; confirm with the owner’s manual

  • Quality: choose a reputable brand, synthetic or synthetic-blend


Bottom line: aim for approximately 4.2 to 4.4 quarts (4.0 to 4.2 liters) of oil when changing the oil and filter, and adjust to the dipstick reading. Use the recommended oil grade for your climate and driving conditions, and consult the owner’s manual for any year-specific notes.


Summary


The S2000’s engine generally takes about 4.2 to 4.4 quarts of oil during an oil-and-filter change, with the final level confirmed on the dipstick. Use a high-quality synthetic oil in the grade recommended by Honda for your region, and always top up to the proper mark after testing the level post-change.
