Some manufactures including Honda & Subaru have a High moly count oil according to UOAs. The factory oil may be no special oil but, it appears to have added moly & ?. The high moly may have been added to the oil as an additive or it may be that parts are liberally coated with antiwear additives that get in the oil. Subaru recomends the first oil change at 3000 miles and NOT before 1000. I do think the manufacture know more about their engines than I do so I alway follow their recomendations. I don't have the Honda recomendations but certanly would NOT cut the factory recomendation in half or worse.
