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).
Some people will only consider you an expert if they agree with your point of view or advice,  when you give them advice they don't like they consider you an idiot

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.
