Some use oil unfortunately and some don't. You could try a different brand of oil, or bump it to a 0W30 or a 5W30 and see what happens. Some would suggest you wait until after the warranty is up to bump it to a 30 grade. If you were to go back to Honda and complain about having to add oil, odds are they'll have a story for you about it being acceptable, assuming you don't have a leak, and send you packing.
