Just make sure you get it cheap.. ebay have offers. As do Halfords.

Yep. Got a 4L bottle for £30ish on offer with my trade card as well at halfords. Car has been serviced and I'm happy with it, no hiccups.

Always replace the oil filter either the blue honda or try Blue Print somewhere on line was selling 4 pack quite a bargain.
I use 5w30 in older models without any issue. The craze for 0-20 down to reaching fuel efficiency targets, regular oil changes better than thin oils in an engine for prolong mileages.
.
One of the first cars to use 0W20 being the 2000 to 2006 Honda Insight, at the time, eyebrows were raised by the viscosity, the Honda oil  being a mineral and not a synthetic, and the price, a 1 litre bottle was only a few pounds at the dealership, those   qualms proved to be unfounded, those car had superb longevity, 300,000 miles +, one owner was close to reaching 700,000 miles until an accident with a deer wrote off his vehicle.
Honda Engineers know a thing or two about engines, if you find a Honda specification, it is worth taking note
