Eneos Oil (Nippon) 0W20 is good or not for 2012 civic???

My new 2012 civic has 3000km now and planned to get my first oil change.

That car needs 0W20 motor oil. Anyone uses Eneos oil now? Is it good?

Is genuine Honda 0W20 is fully synthetic oil?

Comment please.

Enos is good, all 0w-20 should be synthetic.

I see this is an old thread, I wonder how I missed it. Anyway.....

3000 km is far too soon for the first oil change.

Keep driving until the reminder comes up saying SERVICE DUE SOON (15% oil life remaining).
You can find your oil life meter by using the menu and info buttons on the steering wheel.

Reason--Honda wants the break-in oil left in for the full duration (at LEAST 5000miles/8000km or 15% oil life remain) so proper ring seating can be achieved.

They (factory rep) told us there have been reports of excessive oil consumption after the original break-in oil was changed out too early. You probably wouldn't notice right away, but later on in the cars life.
