What engine oil is best to use ? I'm sure I've read somewhere that some can cause an engine tick so I want to avoid those.

My handbook recommends SAE 10w-30 jaso T903 standard MA api SG or higher.

I was planning on using my usual Castrol 10w-40 semi but the above spec has made me doubt my choice. Its the first service so want to get it right.

No need to take advice from anyone, Mr Honda did the work for you and stuck the specification in the owners manual. Now you just have to select a brand, ooh, choices choices. Uh, no really, any known brand to the Honda specification will do.
