Thanks for the continued great videos John and George! Really looking forward to the brake and suspension video! Those are the next upgrades on my ‘05!

John, you found a really clean S2000. It’s in great shape. Once your buddy does a paint correction, that thing will look insane. Glad to see another build.

I was about to do maintenance on my s2000, so this video came at the perfect time! I was going to go through all the old videos to find what I needed but you guys put it all in one, thank you very much and happy holidays to one of the best in the business 👍🏽

Love the sound of the NA VE-TEC moter. GR8 video cheers...

Thank you. Your videos are an amazing resource for s2k owners. Your passion for cars and attention to detail really shines through in your work. Top man.

Excellent walkthrough, thank you!

Absolutely my favorite source of help for anything, upset I’m all the way in Cali but maybe make a mission a for a t/c 😆

I really appreciate this post as I'm going to be changing most of my fluids tomorrow in preparation for a track day, and I haven't done my brakes before. FYI, I switched to SynchroMax based on your advice from an earlier video and found that it performs much better than alternatives in general (and particularly in the cold) but I have noticed that it seems to start to feel thicker (like my synchros have to work harder sooner) when I've been running on track for a long session.

Great explanation

I wish I knew about LHT performance back when I had my AP1. I had nothing but trouble out of mine John makes me want one all over again

Great vid! Honda blue coolant is first done 10 years or 100k, then every 60k or 5 years. On the back of the bottle it says every 5 years or 60k.

Even though I’ve done all these fluid changes and flushes I still enjoy watching you do it and explain it. Looking forward to the serpentine belt change 👍🏼

That car is super clean damn

Great video! Thank you!

really cant wait to see matts civic on this channel!!!

You guys should do a video on bleeding the cooling system & one for the bearings in idler + tensioner pulley.

Gr8 video well explained 👍

My S2K has never met you guys. I have. I speak highly of you to her. She would like to meet you.

Question regarding the royal purple. I have an EP3 SI. I'm getting some gear grind going into 3rd and slight lockout sometimes coming down to 2nd. This is recent. I changed the MTF to OEM Honda fluid. Same results. You think royal purple is the next step or perhaps a larger problem?

Great vid as usual! Have you ever considered a Fumoto oil drain plug? I’ve had one on my s2k for almost 10 years with no issues. I don’t even have to jack up my car to change my oil. Just curious what your take on it is, and if you have ever considered it.

That’s interesting John I’ve always done the passenger rear wheel first and work my way around to the passenger front wheel. Also I learned the same brake/clutch bleeding method you describe and honestly I don’t like it. I prefer the one-man method keeping a tube submerged in fluid; rock hard pedal every time.

Great informative video. Thanks John & George! Where can a guy get his own OEM lip?

When doing brake bleeding, Always start where the brake booster is so if it’s a LHD, it’s going to be front left then turn clockwise then if it’s a RHD, front right then do counter clockwise

I did the same when I got my 00 s2k w/32k miles 4 months ago. Used Redline 75 90 fluid. Thinking of switching to mobil 1 75 140 when it comes out of storage in Spring. It seems a little on the noisy side. Compared to what was in it from prev owners. The old fluid was dark gold coloured and a little residue on drain plug. Also Adj valves and flushed coolant just in case. Dont cheap out on your maintenance!

I understand there’s an oil filter mod to prevent the filter from coming off in spirited driving? Is this correct?

My S2000 needs some LHT love

I was just looking for a new video like 20 minutes ago. Lol.

Is the royal purple good for all climate? My transmission gets a little notchy when cold.

This is a great find. You’re so lucky!

Hey John. Would you consider turning your s2000 shop car to a 20th anniversary build. I think that would make it stand out a little more. I think you can still order it.

You can hand tighten the oil filter 7/8?

Do the folks that have alternate methods/procedures do service for a living? 1st tool I would buy (if I could afford it) would be a 2 post lift ;)

Have you ever done a video on unblocking convertible top drain holes?

Cant speak for the Royal Purple transmission oil because I haven't tried it yet but the Castrol Syntranse FE 75W does wonders.

How does the royal purple fluid work in colder weather/climates? Im in Mn and drive my s2k sometimes when its 20-30f out.

How do you clean the residue from the inside of the clutch/brake fluid reservoir?

Ever tried the actual GM Synchromesh Friction Modified gearbox fluid? Not the regular GM Synchromesh fluid. I switched to that over 15 years ago in my GSR and it still shifts smooth as butter with 375,000 miles on it. Unfortunately I’m not sure if that fluid is even available anymore. GM 12377916 is the part number. Great stuff, but I’ll eventually likely switch over to OEM Honda MTF.

Would the pdx filter work well for the k series engines as well? Or is that part not compatible?

I've found a mess free way to bleed my brakes and clutch. Instead of using a bottle and hose, I just bought a 2 liter urine bag from the drug store. Cut the tip of the hose so it will fit the bleeder valve nipple. It's about a dollar for a urine bag. Since the bag is sealed, it's spill proof. Plus you can use the old fluid to degrease some of your tools.

Great video, thank you, if doing the Brake fluid would it be the same seq for a right hand drive car? where the the master c is on the right, ?

Great video thank you but on the white board you said you were using 90 140 for the dif but then u used 75 140? Which do I useeee

LHT should update the link to the oil filter wrench since he's changed his recommendation!

Do you like to use RP synchromax with all Honda transmissions?

It looks like it is almost brand new the body paint is well preserved.

How did you change out the clutch fluid? What did you put back - same as brake fluid?

Billman recommends Passenger wheel first then driver side then rear wheels

Who better to ask than a Honda Guru? Will that 15400-pcx-000 oil filter work on an Integra "B" series, "C" series, and C5 series motor?

THIS IS GOLD!

Do you not need to bleed the clutch? Did you just suck it out and replace?

John is the Gordon Ramsay of Honda's

Do you use a different pump between the transmission fluid and differential fluid?

Who would give this video a thumbs down? SMH

Can you please do the same video for your Z06. I have a 2011 Z07 that is away for the winter ( 🇨🇦) I’d like something to do over the winter

Please also include the coolant next times.

I only gave this video one thumbs up. It would have gotten two thumbs up if you would have shown how to change the blinker fluid.....

Hey John is the Mobil 1 75W-90 good for the S2k differential ?

White board said 90w 140...bottle in is 75w :)

What’s the difference between the 75w 140 and the 75w 90?

You did not show how to drain clutch fluid, how to bleed it

I've seen a gas filter been changed on the channel 😏

Can i use that royal purple on a k series transmission too?

Geez that car is a time capsule. Someone kept the mileage off for the next guy to enjoy

I have always followed the same policy, regardless of what make or model I'm servicing: Bleed the caliper that is farthest from the the master cylinder first, then the next next farthest, then the next farthest, and finally the nearest. This technique ensures that no contaminated fluid backflushes into the parts of the system which have already been bled. Why is your policy different?

A Honda dealer is selling a pristine 31k 2006 1-owner, dealer maintained Berlina Black w/ OEM front lip/sidestrakes/the ugly spoiler in CO for $29k. Somebody snap that up before I go into debt.

There seems to be some missing information regarding bleeding the clutch. Otherwise very informative.

All owners should be locked in a room and forced to watch this video! In fact, this video should be supplied with all S2000's. Essential viewing for any S2000 owner, or future owner. Or any owner of any car, for that matter. Thanks.

you have 53k subscribers. 443 views 2 hours after uploading. Something is not right.

Eveywhere tells you not to push the brake pedal to the floor but you say its okay? And no need to open and close the bleeder valve. Just leave the bleeder valve opened and connected to the bottle and then pump the pedal 60-70% of the travel over and over until the line has new fluid.

The instructions on the oil filter specify a torque value of 20-24 Nm.

My crusher washer was stuck on for 2 years till I bought a new drain bolt 🔩
