The easy answer: Genuine Honda stuff usually comes from a Honda dealer/parts department.

Just use 10w40 engine oil if your stuck or don't live anywhere near a Honda dealership.
I've used it for years. No problems.......

Ran yellow bottle Penzoil 10W30 in my 92 lude for 50k miles and never had an issue. $11/quart for Honda MTF is just insane.

'88 - '95 Civics tend to work better with 10W30, MTF is just too thin for them, but for '96+ D-series run MTF, 10W30 just doesn't shift nice, I've tried it.

How long you run 10W-30 in them for? I'm guessing you're not doing 3,000 MTF changes?
