Can you please at your convenience post the Oil Specifications - Viscosity and API-SAE rating.
I believe Honda India gets its oils from Idemitsu only, this I learned in discussion with a person from Mobil. It seems worldwide Mobil 1 and some other products are recommended/used by Honda but in India due to pricing constraints Mobil does not supply their products (unconfirmed statement from the same person). The synth oil is Idemitsu 0W-30 conforming to API-SM cert. The mineral oil from Idemitsu is 10W-30 with API-SL.
