1000km oil change - which oil to use?

I think 5-6k is still too early for fully sync, go for feo and let the engine run in more with mineral oil. Then change to full at 10k and next 20k, etc...

If you change ffull sync at 5k then change it again at 10k, it would be a waste/overkill

Due to the engine pinging noise I have let Honda put in whatever the hell they use and then I will use full synthetic, and swear by Mobil 1, have had an engine fail due to Motul Turbolight, and I even use Mobil 1 in my rotary which is something alot of oldies swear is BAD cause synthetic does not burn (rotors have oil injection for those that don't know), though I have never had a problem and pulling the engine done there is less deposits so go figure...

True.Just run FEO,change at approx.5-6K,run FEO again till 10K then go full synthetic.
