It's better you stick to what the company says. According to the chart in the car manual you can use 15W-40 or 15W-50 grade oil.

The Ikon i think uses 10W-40, that might work on the Vtec but 5W-50 seems a bit over-board.

I've been using the Honda oil from the very first day and never felt the need to use anything else. Even after 49K kms, the engine is as good as new.
