Default Synthetic motor oil and waranty?

What's the latest on using synthetic motor oil? What's the best kind and how does it affect Honda's warranty?

It does not effect your warranty, but it should not be added until 7,500 miles or so (opinions vary). I like Royal Purple, but Mobile 1 and Redline are the most popular posts I remember.

Thanks for your reply. I really like the idea of a better protecting motor oil, especially at high revs.

Check your oil on a regular basis early on, maybe every other gas fill (unless you are a VTEC addict). Once you determine that your oil usage is minimal, change over to Synthetic.

Until then, top off with a good organic like Mobil, Castrol, etc...

As long as your oil meets the minimum SAE requirements listed in the owner's manual, log it, save your receipts, and you are covered.
