It'll be in the manual near the back.

See pages 485 and 490 here: https://www.honda.co.uk/content/dam/local/uk/cars/owners/manuals/2016%20Jazz%20Owners%20Manual.pdf

That tells you what they should use. The question was what do they use.

I asked Honda UK exactly that question. The reply was that dealers are not tied to brands of oil. I think they buy 200 L drums of what they get a deal on. Hopefully when it comes to CVT oil, they will use the Honda stuff !

Castrol Magnatec engine oil used by my local dealership when I had the car serviced,  When the warranty expired and I performed  my own servicing , I continued to use the same product

castrol  magnatate 5w 30 fully synthetic consider it as liquid engineering nothing better in my opinion!!! have used this on my honda jazz, new filter and oil change every six months car runs like a sewing machine smooth and quiet, I dont deal with dealer after they wanted £30 to upgrade from  synthetic to fully synthetic you can buy  4 ltrs for less than their upgrade price main dealers bunch of crooks as far as i am concerned, used to work for TJ filters/ Tecalemit Maintenance fitter 22yrs in Plymouth I know exactly what goes into filters pity they dont make them anymore  they were the best so now use genuine honda/ or bosch, not branded  cheap filters from euro car parts it all worth it in the end if you want to look after the car works for me!!!
