My mechanic told me not to use synthetic oil in my Honda. He said that the regular oil helps prohibit 'making oil'. That is, keeps the piston rings seated so that there isn't fuel blow-by into the crankcase. He says that synthetic lubricates too well and allows fuel mix into the crankcase oil. Either way, you can't go wrong with using regular oil changed every 100 hours or less.
