Silkolene PRO S 5w-40 for engine oil
And Honda MTF III for gearbox oil IMO
Make sure you use Super unleaded in the car, if you can't get V-Power, and maybe carry some octane booster with you if you're worried. You could get the car remapped to UK fuel, with something like a Hondata S300/Greddy e-manage/Unichip but i guess it's like the DC2 situation and Super Unleaded should be fine in it with V-Power being a preferred choice.
It's a 25min drive to my nearest Shell Garage so i just keep the tank reasonably full when i see one, so as not to get caught short

I agree with Hasnic.
The Silkolene Pro is a fully synthetic oil, which is superior to semi sythetic oil.
I have tended to stick with Hondas MTF oil for the gearbox, and being a front wheel drive car your LSD is in the gearbox and uses whatever oil is in there.
