yea just drain the pain real well when switching oil weight. but should be okay. i wouldn't keep that a permanent choice though, switch back next change

As long as its synthetic -> synthetic or conventional -> conventional than you are golden.

Just drain it very well and of course change the filter. The weights aren't too drastically different. Just don't keep switching all the time.

Just don't keep switching all the time.

This is the important part. If you switch for one interval, it shouldn't be that big of a deal.

honda engines usualy run on 5w30 or 10w30 so you are switching to the right choice

Run the engine for a few minutes to warm up the oil, makes it easier, and faster to get the old stuff out.
