From everything I’m reading it’s 5K-7.5K or when the maintenance minder hits 15%. Do you know anything about the quality of Idemitsu? It’s the factory fill on all of the Honda’s with 0W-20 and they claim to be the ones that developed the 0W-20 for Honda. I’ve searched high and low and can’t really turn anything up on the quality of the oil.

They gave you incorrect information. For one thing the grade is not a “spec”. It’s a recommendation.
Call them back and ask them to point you to the owner’s manual or warranty book section that ties grade to the warranty.
The quality is as good as the licenses, specifications or approvals it may carry.
Yes I suspect Amazon is the source of those good things"it's on Amazon and it's dirt cheap, I'm hearing good things here!"

The oil won't know what filter you are using, nor vice a versa.
Pick an appropriate filter for the engine that you feel warm and fuzzy about.
I've put Honda OEM, ST, and Fram Ultra on my SD's Honda and none made it run any differently nor change the time OLM said to change it.

Didn't someone mention in this thread that you need to order $400 worth of their products to delete the shipping cost?
My dad has a corporate account at a local retailer that carries it which is why I can get it cheaper. If I had to order direct though them online it would definitely not be worth it. I think shipping on a case would run me about $58.
If you want to support local jobs, Chevron has a refinery in Pascagoula, MS.

Thanks for the recommendation. I had never heard of it before.
My Fiancé is from Gulfport so we are down that way a few times a month. I’ve never used Havoline. I’ll have to look into their products. I know Chevron’s diesel oils are pretty liked. When it comes to gas I usually try to only fill up with them or Shell.
Read post #1 & #28 you'll see why I said to stick with Schaeffer's oil. It's not the cheapest oil out there but it's cheapest for the OP between the two of the oils.
Twenty some replies and I didn't read "Super Tech and forget about it" once. But that's so 2021.
BITOG bingo card did pick up the obligatory HPL recommendo (me) but yeah no ST.

2nd the vote for any synth 5w30. Since your brand choice is Amsoil vs Schaeffers... flip a coin. Both are excellent. Schaeffer 9000 with your discount is a no brainer.

Besides the Purolator Boss, can't go wrong with any of the full synth media oil filters. Don't forget about Fram Endurance, and the WixXP/NapaPlatinum filters too. Amsoil/RoyalPurple filters are a premium choice but not all of us like to make bulk purchases to spread out the shipping costs.
Supreme 9000™Full Synthetic Engine Oil 5W-30 | Schaeffer Oil
Supreme 9000™ Full Synthetic 5W-30 engine oil provides extra protection during stop-and-go driving conditions and is recommended for gasoline fueled automobile and light duty truck engines (including turbocharged and supercharged engines).

Both certification and grade are in manuals as recommendations or requirements depending on wording and warranty documents are predicated on following the recommendations.

No, they are not.
But you get extra credit for trying in many threads. You keep posting the same old circled words that don’t show what it is that you keep saying it shows.
I post the grade and certification both being indicated as recommended with no indication that either takes precedent by the manufacturer.

Well, out of the horses mouth is disputed by the armchair lawyers again.
So American Honda Motor Company is wrong and some eggspurt on the 'net is going to go to court as my witness and beat them.
This is so ridiculous.
