I’ll have to check it out more thorough.
Couple of nits to pick:
Which side is the left side?
Follow the maintenance minder for oil, not a specific 6k interval.
I used XW-20, 30, and 40 in my previous R18 and the vtec could not tell the difference. I always thought of the timing chain as the limiting factor for oil choice, not the i(eco)-vtec valve train; and certainly not the engine.
Edit: wrongly shows a 9k mile interval for my Subaru FB25; should be 6k.

From article:
Using the recommended engine oil is essential. That will keeps the VTEC system in good condition for a long time. The engine life of R18 is about 180,000 miles (300,000 km).

It's the left side while sitting in the car. That's the typical definition of left and right when talking about vehicles.

Right. Unless they changed the position of the hydraulic mount after the 8th gen, the mount is on the passenger side.
