Like I mentioned, not looking for a "long and boring debate" on brands or weights. Just an observation if in the "long run", does it really matter?
Would an engine failure occur regardless of using the spec oil that Honda recommends or "upgrading" to syn?
I assume the engine tolerances have not really changed otherwise syn would be required.
Point is there are many 1800 motors out there well over 100k miles that surely never ran syn.
Just an observation.
Maybe I should have simply asked, "which do you run and why?'

There is the story of the sales rep in the deep South with a company Corolla. He drove it 5 days a week and at every oil change interval he pestered the owner to get it changed, which he ignored. Finally at 89,000 miles the car was sold. It was a small town. 5 years later he saw the car still running around town.
I knew a guy a few years ago that had an old Honda Civic, 2001/2 I think, that had over 100,000 miles on it..He claimed that the oil had never been changed during the entire time he owned it???...BTW, he has since passed away and I have no idea what happened to the car....Regards and ride safe
