the sump takes approximately 6 qts when you change the filter. How do you define major service? You should check your belts every oil change, may need a valve adjustment around 50k, brakes you should check at least once a year or more often depending on your environment. Tires are good for around 15k miles, back ones go before fronts...be prepared.

dumping the clutch is revving the engine up to 7000 and sliding your foot off of the clutch. Not good on the engine or clutch.

Zaino is a really good car finish series of products. Take time to apply correctly but do a great job. (see the URL above)

Congrats on the new car. I would suggest changing all of the fluids so you know they were done and WHEN they were done.
Oil/filter
brake
clutch
differential
tranny

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.
