Most synthetics are BLENDS of regular oil, anyway.
and then a 0w-20 is supposed to be a synthetic from Honda.
so, it really doesnt matter what oil you put in.
as long as you change the oil and the oil filter regularly according to the MID.
depending on location I would stick with a 5w-30/20 or a 0w-20

Given that the car comes with dino oil from factory, what name brand is in compliance with factory oil? I presume most big brands would be... Or should I just bite the bullet and get it from the dealer?

Just did my first oil change. Mobile 1 0W20 all the way. Oh, by the way, the oil filter positioning is one of the worst I've ever had from a Honda product. The end of the filter is 1" or less from a suspension or frame member. Hard to fit a end cap wrench between the two and lots of oil runs directly down on the frame member. Lots of clean up required!
However, this is the only negative I've had with my new '14 MDX. Great vehicle.

Did you jack up the front wheel to get to the filter?
