I did some further searching and found a couple of retailers selling through Amazon that should fit the bill nicely. I was able to order a gallon of proper ProHonda GN4 10W-30 oil, an OEM oil filter and an appropriate oil filter cap wrench for a total of $52. Because we have a credit card through Amazon, my wife and I have a "Prime" account that gets us free shipping on most items so it didn't cost me a dime over the sale price (no sales tax either). As a test, I only ordered enough supplies for my first oil change. If all goes well, this should save me the time and trouble of having to run all over the city to collect these items once or twice a year. While this may seem silly to a lot of you, I work 50+ hours a week at a local brewery and my wife has a talent for filling up whatever remains so, any time I can save on 'errands' like this is welcome.
Again, thanks for the tips.

I've done the same thing when I just cannot find the right stuff locally. Usually ordering enough oil for an oil change would put me over the minimum for free shipping. I used to source all the different oils needed on a Harley Street Glide via Amazon instead of trying to chase them down locally.
Ordered a bunch of Honda oil filters and crush washers from eBay since you can usually find a Honda dealer selling stuff online.
