The manual calls for 10W30, but with the temperature problems you may face, I would check themanual for the recommendation for higher temps.

As for brand, after about 10,000 miles I would switch to Mobil1 synthetic, but that's just me.

no i don't think it will be better, unless you want to add oil more often, there is a reason why they ask you to stick with factory suggestion.

I use Mobil 1 Synthetic 10W30 in my 2003 S2000 - last of the 9K 2.0 liter engines!

Panteli I'm from greece and we also have 35-40 degrees during the summer.The local dealership suggests shell racing 10-60 motoroil which sounds a little bit too thin for me.I use it though.

Australian summers are always around that temperature range. 10W30 is fine.

I know for a FACT that the last year of production of the S2000 is 2003!!!!! After that, it will be the S2200 under an assumed name.
