You can option it, same with the airbag steering wheel.
Did anyone notice they recommend 5W-40 or 10W-30? Interesting.
Neat! 
There was no NSX Type R. Just NSX-R. It wasn't a Civic or Integra.

Tell that to Honda - they refer to the car as an NSX-R or NSX Type-R.

Yep. http://www.nsxprime.com/forum/showthread.php?p=1484019&highlight=5w-40#post1484019. But it's good to see those recommended engine oil viscosities on page 223 of the Type-R Owner's Manual, directly in official Honda literature.
And it just seems wrong that even the NSX Type-R was designed to be fit with snow chains in the winter (pages 205 and 206).
Thanks to the OP for posting the link!
Edit: I just saw something else - how to close the front hood.
On page 98 of the 1991 US NSX Owner’s Manual, it says, “To close the hood, lower the hood about halfway down and let the hood drop.” (see here and click forward to page 98: http://techinfo.honda.com/rjanisis/pubs/OM/NS9191/NS9191O00097A.pdf)
On page 35 of the 2002 Japanese NSX-R Owner’s Manual linked to in post #1, it shows the owner pushing the hood shut with his hands over the emblem, not dropping the hood.
I wonder whether that was a revised recommendation pertaining to all NSXs or whether that procedure was just for Type-Rs with carbon fiber front hoods. Dropping the hood of my regular NSX doesn’t seem to have caused any damage in the past 18 years, in any case.

Andreas, I believe this is because CF is soo light the hood will actually open fully if you attempt to drop it from halfway :biggrin:

I'm very interested in this also!
Is the NSXR engine that different when it comes to oil needs?

Probably because they knew the NSX-R would spend a lot of time being tracked.
They also mention a Type T in your link referring to removable roof which we all know wasn't a "Type" anything. I suspect it is an "add on" added to the vernacular but never used in actual emblems or insignia, or somehow thrown in translating from Japanese to English. If you look at the door sill plates and cars in general as well as the actual literature (not web stuff or spoken word), there isn't any "Type" in there.

That is my suspicion as well, but if you look at the manual, 10W-30 is the perferred weight for normal temps. 5W-40 is only for cold temps.
Good point! The CF on an NSX-R may actually be lighter than air. That’s why the parts are so ridiculously expensive!
My link was to the Honda worldwide website. On their own website, Honda use the term “NSX Type-R” and “NSX-R” many times when referring to the same car. As they use the terms “NSX Type-T” and “NSX-T” as well as “NSX Type-S”. And they use those terms on the Japanese honda.co.jp website as well.
I don’t think their repeated use of the term NSX “Type-something” came up because of a poor translation somewhere. Honda refer to the cars like that sometimes so if the OP does as well, I see nothing wrong with it.
I heard from a trusted source that in Japan, Honda changed the recommended viscosities to 5w-40 and 10w-30 for all NSXs, not just the Type-Rs. Unfortunately, I don’t have documentation from Honda to back that up. Edit: I found a Japanese fixed-headlight NSX Owner's Manual and on page 259 it has the exact same oil recommendation as for the Type-R: 5w-40 or 10w-30.

You can get that on iPod/iPad app, look under Honda, you can download PDF files of manuals on cars mostly made after 2000.

Thanks for the tip! The app is called „Honda Owners Manual“ and if you search for it in the iTunes store, it pops up immediately. There’s a description of the app on Honda’s Japanese website: http://www.honda.co.jp/iphone/HondaOwnersManual/. The app currently allows you to download the Japanese NSX Owner’s Manuals from 2002-2005 and the Japanese NSX-R Owner’s Manuals from 2003-2004.
In all of those Owner’s Manuals (NSX and NSX-R), the recommended oil viscosities are the same: 5w-40 for ambient temperatures from below -30°C to above 40°C and 10w-30 for ambient temperatures from -20°C to above 40°C.
Regarding how to close the front hood, both NSX-R Owner’s Manuals show the owner pressing the hood shut with his hands on the emblem. All of the NSX Owner’s Manuals show the owner dropping the hood to shut it. So during the entire production run, the procedure for how to close the front hood wasn’t revised for regular NSXs – let it drop.
As a bit of trivia, the Japanese NSX Owner’s Manuals only refer to a “type T” or a “type S”, never to an “NSX-T” or “NSX-S”.
