80w-90 is correct. Did they use a GL5 type oil?

The correct fluid recommendation from Honda is 90w GL-5.

No multi-vis has the viscosity or extreme pressure performance as a quality 90w.

The best one I know of, and which I understand is widely used in S2000 quarters, is LE-607. It is sold in the Marketplace on this site.

I have posted in detail on this topic so i suggest you read those posts if you want a holistic view.

RR, however, you also recommended not using LE607 if you lived someplace it can get cold. such as here in wisconsin.

Oh yes, that is certainly true. If you live in Wisco, a fortified 75w90 is the way to go. 80w90 synoil would also do well.
