warrenty might be voided. honda fights everything...and royal purple is not a API certified oil.
cold air intake is a good reason to void warrenty as well.

if they dont blame it on improper oil, they will blame it on hyrdolock. no, it does not have to be raining at the time to hydrolock. if water ever got into the engine, it could have slightly damaged the engine, eventually causing failure. <-happened to a friend. his engine was NOT paid for by HOA.
