Whether this causes long term problems I do not know, but short term problems are pretty much gone, and I'm sure grinding 3rd is a problem..

Honda does not manufacture their MTF; it is outsourced. They are not trying to give you the best possible fluid for your car, since they need to strike a balance between quality and cost efficiency. Amsoil has no such limitations. Through their own R&D based solely on synthetic fluids, they sell a high-quality synthetic MTF at a premium price.
I say use the Amsoil and drain it about every 30,000 miles.
