Don't bother flushing with flushing oils. Flushing oils are very thin and they can get metal particles inside the bearings and journals.

It's alright to flush with a bottle of FEO though. Just use FEO, drive around for a few days and then change to fresh oil

Yup, what |N| said. It's Honda's standard 10w-30 oil. At $25, you can just run it for a few days, flush it and then put your usual oil. But Honda FEO is pretty good, it's better than all the other mineral oils out there.
