I know 2 guys with s2000's; one who blew his engine (oil starvation) but the other one use it as its daily drive and has done over 300k miles with no issues. So it can be very reliable. Maybe it needs an oil level sensor in the sump (I dont believe it has one?) like most bmw's have |
Oil starvations in S2000 are due to human error, need to check dipstick and read it correctly. Older cars used to burn some oil on top of that. On my 2006 I didn't even check oil for 7k miles until I changed it. Many older Japs have oil light that's usually called a "death light", it could light up when it's already too late. BMWs now days lack dipsticks but have oil light that warns you when u need 1qt added.
Now Cayman engines for example do have oil starvation problems due to design flaw, you cant even track them in stock form (at least pre-2009 models).
