Did you check your oil regularly and make sure it was at the right level? I dont see anything bad hapening as long as you drove it normal and you kept the level where it was supposed to be.

6k on synthetic? You're fine. Honda's interval for regular oil is 7.5k, and synthetic will usually be okay beyond that, as it resists breakdown better.

Yea, I usually try to keep mine at the top hole, but you should be good to go. So if its running rough i doubt its the oil.
