I read at a Honda dealer (about their Honda oil) that if you use anything other than the oil recommended for your engine, it raises emissions, and lowers gas mileage. (More HP? SIKE!) I've used Penzoil 5w-20 and it's alright. Once my car hits 10,000 miles, i'm gonna try out Honda's 5w-20 oil.

I get my oil change at the dealer and have yet to go in for the first change. Anyone know if the dealers carry any full synthetic oil for our cars?

ohh, i was just posting my motor oil. I change my own oil, hehe. but the dealer should put in whatever you want. and will use 5w20 by default. but it also depends on the dealer.
