That's amazing mileage! How smooth and powerful does the engine still run? This is my first experience with a Honda product that's not a motorcycle.
 
In Texas, consider a 0w-40 or a reduced SAPS oil like PZ Euro L 5w-30

Rotella Gas Truck 5w-30 looks like a good candidate on paper. Slightly thick and unique add pack possibly for GDI like a Dexos gen 2, pretty much like a brand new A5 oil would appear on paper. As you know, the only A5 oil around was PZ Ultra 5w-30, possibly some others. The oils I listed are as good or better, imo.

I agree, I bought Rotella Gas Truck 5w30 to use in my Hyundai GDI. It is an ALL-MILEAGE oil so you can use it in place of a high mileage oil or at any other time. It also has a nice rebate for quart bottles and 5 quart jugs.
 
I use the Supertech high mileage in everything, since it's the same price as the regular synthetic. My Mustang had a small rear main seal leak before I started using it and now it doesn't anymore, so it must be doing something.
