If you look at the S2000, Honda is all over the map with respect to the maintenance schedule.

Owner's manual says for normal conditions, change it every 12,000km or 12 months.

For severe conditions, owner's manual says change it every 6,000km or six months.

But if you go to honda.ca and choose S2000, it says change it every 6,000km or three months (both normal and severe).

For me I just change it every six months. Truth is I never end up reaching the max kms before the max time. Regular oil is fine for me (never bought synthetic oil for any of my cars, and probably never will unless its required).
