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).

Funny you mention this. When I leased my BMW E92 I was told not to worry about changing the oil until I hit 15,000 - 20,000 and only do it when the on board computer tells me to. When I got my Audi A5, the first oil change is suppose to happen at 6,000. I even asked my friend at BMW if it's a smart idea to not change the oil say at 5,000. He told me not to waste my money because it was a leased car and let BMW worry about it. He also said some people don't get the oil changed until they hit 20,000 km's.
