I don't know if Honda uses a break-in oil, but it is possible. The dealer should know if that's the case. Break-in oil is usually a non-detergent oil, which helps to burnish the cylinder walls. VW used to use a break-in oil in the Beetle, and air-cooled aircraft engines are typically broken in with non-detergent oil. Most modern automobile engines have essentially no break-in period because of the manufacturing processes used today. Most, if not all, cars today come from the factory with standard, detergent oil. Note that it is not uncommon to have oil change intervals of over 10K miles. Engines are much cleaner than 30 years ago. I'd follow the factory oil change interval, but switch to Mobil 1 synthetic at the first oil change.
