Welcome. Your choice of oil is perfect for a Mk1 Jazz. I use Comma X-Tech 5W-30 Fully Synthetic oil and filter sourced from my local motor factors, but like you I change oil every 12 months irrespective of mileage.
What is far more important, on the CVT, is that the transmission oil is changed every 2 years or 25,000 miles (whichever comes sooner) and that only the correct Honda CVT fluid is used. Sometimes judder can occur with the CVT transmission and this is usually a sign that the oil change has been neglected. In that case a flush is often required too.
