MX-5 manual recommends 0W20 as well, but also lists other acceptable grades, even in the North American version.
VERY ANNOYINGLY, the UK FL5 manual lists 0W20 and 5W30. But for some reason, there doesn't seem to be a US/North American FL5 manual at all. I wonder if a US dealer would actually...

Thanks for your insight! Will you be attending any local meets/Cars and Coffee any time soon? Would love to see the car in-person, and I'm sure you'll turn lots of heads.
Idk man, there a billion factors at play when it comes to pricing anything anywhere. If you're really mad about it, write Honda a letter and ask them why. I'm sure their explanation will be just as unsatisfying as mine or anyone else's.
