Go with what Honda specified. Usually 0w20 is Synthetic and 5W20 is dino oil. Do not ask what brand or you will get 15 answers from the first 10 people to answer.

Thumbs up O'Relly store brand 0w-20 for $5.49
This is what I've been using. It has the same API Certification Seal as the more expensive oils.
