I am not Honda engineer nor an oil expert. I've been in automotive business for 4 decades. All my vehicles follow manufacture standards or shorter intervals.
My CB always takes 100% full synthetic 10W40 Motul and OEM filters, 5-6000 kms intervals ...cars, always OEM filter and synthetic oil in winter only.
In general for any vehicle: very short distances, commuting in traffic, frequent stops, extensive idling, extreme low/high temp, puling a trailer, carrying a heavy load, you would consider shorter intervals or/and 100% full synthetic oil that provides better engine protection...always OEM filter.
The bottom line: follow manufacture recommendations.. small variation in service intervals will do no harm to your engine.
This is my advice. Make your wise choice upon reading other members input and internet resources.
