Use any oil labled "For Gasoline Engines" of the viscosity specified in your owner's manual. 10w-30 is nearly always safe.
SAE stands for Society of Automotive Engineers. Standing by itself, the term means nothing. The SAE sets performance grading and viscosity standards for motor oil, but the term "SAE oil" is meaningless. Virtually all motor oils are "SAE oils" but if you used one marked SA or SB in your Honda you'd destroy the engine in short order. Your Honda probably requires an oil marked SG or better.

Yes, good quality clean oil is essential, I think a 10W-30 or 10W-40 would be correct. If the engine has a ton of miles so the tolerances are somewhat looser and the temps are very hot you might want to try 20W-50 but I dont use this until my vehicles have over 200,000 miles on them.
