That's what the Owner's Manual says, but my Honda dealer only stocks jugs of 10W40 Honda oil. I used it for 33,000 kilometers on my CB500XA with no problems. So it should be alright for the CB1100 EX.
The jugs are 1 US Gallon 3.8 liters. Which is the perfect measure according to the service manual for an oil change without a filter change. But who changes the oil without replacing the filter. However given that difference is only 1/10th of a liter, the jug will probably do. If not, I will probably buy a quart for top ups.

Lots of owners here are using 10w40 and doing just fine with it. You're not wrong for using it so I would carry on what you're doing
Any of the name brand oils are excellent. You don't have to use Honda oil. I use Motul in all my bikes because it's readily available.
