Just an update for you guys many kilometers and oil changes later!
Started off on the Penrite Enviro+ GF-S 5w30, needed a1000ml top up after 2000km. Moved back to shell as i had used in my prior vehicles and saw no noticeable oil consumption all the way up to my 7500km service interval! Did an...
Is the Shell ECT C3 a good fit i thought that was mainly a diesel focused oil? Used the Penrite last change but Shell is on sale now. Otherwise i can just grab the helix 5w-30 was a little concerned with the cylinder shutoff though.
Would these be a good fit?

I'll go out and grab some ILSAC rated oil for it, thanks for the reply :)
I'm aware what each spec is i just wasn't aware if Honda had a specific one they followed.
I feel really stupid asking this but what 'specification' would i want to look for i.e. BMWLL01, GF-5, MS-6395, etc
I do drive quite enthusiastically and its not uncommon to go for a weekend mountain drive.
I had an 07 v6 also and was using 5w-40 in that and got some good mileage out of the vehicle... However with this VCM system and modern tolerances i didn't want to push my luck. Our accords are the same as the USA spec vehicles size and all its the Accord euro that was different.
