It's most likely a bad head gasket or bad rings.

Not sure if it could be due to the increased weight of your oil, since your running a heavier weight than Honda recommends. I really have no idea about that though, maybe someone else could clarify?

White smoke = coolant/water.

I sould suggest to do a compression test on the motor and check for coolant mixing with oil first.

it's a head gasket, now follow this up with 40 other posts confirming it's a head gasket. Do a compression test and tell us your numbers.
