I went to my local, not where I purchased the car, dealer about 1 month ago for top up oil. They sold me Castrol 0-30 SLX in a very nice refill pack with gloves, funnel and a bag which velcro'd to the boot sidewall.
I then went back today and dealer told me he was out of it and to use any 5-40 synthetic. I told him about the SLX being 0-30 and he said 5-40 was the one to use. This contradicts the service book. Not happy. Phoned my original dealer, he said Honda don't do litre packs and that all iCDTI engines HAD to use 0-30 oil and that he would give me some if I called in, they only had it in 45 gallon drums!. Does anyone know the correct answer, or maybe there isn't one. Anyway doesn't really matter to me, I'm going through oil at a shocking rate. 1 litre in the first 5000miles and 1/2 litre in the last 2500, I could nearly be using Crisp and Dry! Only joking
