5W-30 Synthetic or Semi synthetic is one of the many recommended. I use Comma X-Tech 5W-30 Fully Synthetic oil on my L1.2A engine. Haynes manual doesn't recommend anything lighter than 5W-30.

Although Honda recommends 0w20 for all year Jazz's, i also use a full synthetic 5w30, twice a year because mostly short trips. Btw, the 0w20 oils were mainly introduced for fuel economy (please correct me if i'm wrong) and although a 10wxx oil that meets the cars specs is okay, a 5wxx is somewhat nicer for your engine when it's cold. Whatever you choose, fresh oil that meets the specification is more important than old high-tech/overly expensive oil. ;)

5W-30 definitely, keep away from ultra-thin 'fuel saving' oils (used by car makers to try and extract the last 0.001% mpg from car but with little regard for long term protection).

My handbook for the car states 5W-30 is recommended, and good for down to -30°C and below and up to 40°C and above (ambient temperature). Sounds like a typical summer's day, here in Scotland.

Absolutely fully synthetic 5W-30 if you plan on sticking to the recommended Honda oil change schedule.

Trust Honda engineers.

Pop your vehicles details into OPIE oils = full range of oils , always use the Honda oil filter.

Opie Oils doesn't recognise my reg number and when I try to enter vehicle details they don't have an option for the 1.2 litre engine. Based on this, I am afraid I don't trust their recommendations.

the oil grade you need to use is really dependent on the climate of the country you gonna use the car in. Hotter climates require generally a thicker oil and colder ones a thinner oil.

Your Honda handbook should have the recommended oil grades listed or just ask at your local Honda dealer.

Just as I said earlier.

Unless you live in Dubai or Northern Canada I think 5/10W30/40 will be fine. Honda recommends 5W30.
