Dont forget to service ur Tranny and Differential. We did the tranny's every 15k at honda for S2000's and the diff's every 30k.

Check PCV with ur air filter, Fuel filter if it hasn't been done yet and you have some miles on the vehicle :)

How do you service the fuel filter? Do you mean replace it? When I had my civic I went to get a fuel filter and the guys at Honda asked why I needed one. I told them I wanted to replace it for maintenance/tune up purposes and they told me that it doesn't/shouldn't need replacing unless it went bad? Help me understand. pls

I don’t think the s2 has a fuel filter just a fuel pump strainer. And most of the time if the strainer goes bad you got more problems than you think.

If your near 60k or more a valve adjustment is something I reccomend, along with a set of plugs and air filter which you already have covered. For the most part the s2k motor is pretty much maintenence free compared to previous honda motors. (Just make sure you keep fresh clean oil in it!) There is no fuel filter as stated above, just the pump strainer. And for peace of mind it never hurts to change out all of the other fluids especially if you know its never been done before.

depending on the mileage.....change the oil, tranny fluid, spark plugs, air filter, clean the throttle body (seafoam) coolant flush? i think honda recommends it at 120k or something, check the manual.....cabin air filter....while you have the plugs out, see if you can do a compression check....you should be good, but it doesn't hurt to check.

Also, read the manual lol
