As long as the API Service Grade meets the manufacturer's requirements and you change it as required, any oil will suffice. If you want to spend more on synthetic or something, that is of course up to you. The main thing is to change it as required.

Castrol regular 5w 30 don't use syntec it doesn't do anything thats noticeable and is more expensive. Also for the people that think u can't go back to regular oil after using syntec its a myth. Always use Honda oem oil filters people say use k&n and what not but there is certain stuff you only replace with oem honda stuff. Like the oil filter, Main bearings, rod bearings, water pump, timing belt, oil pump....Etc.
