Back when I had a honda, I used 30W and it worked find until I started getting little grinds, so I switched to syncromesh and never had any problems.

Pennzoil Synchromesh or GM Synchromesh here, too. Used to run Honda MTF/Synchromesh blend. If you run regular engine oil, you really need to change it at every oil change for the engine. Honda MTF has sulfur in it to slow the decomposition of the oil. Honda MTF is pretty much engine oil with additives to extend the life.
