No need, unless you live in frigid weather.
The oil used is 5W-x multigrade. A few seconds of "warmup" will do.... about the time to settle down and buckle up. Just drive easily as you get out of your driveway and progressively drive normally as the engine coolant approaches operating temp.

A Honda gas engine is way different from an old-tech Isuzu diesel engine. For Honda car engines (2006 onwards), just stay within the suggested viscosities (0w20, 5w30, 5w40, 10w30).
If you want to use affordable yet good synthetic oils, you can buy from Lazada these brands - Hyundai Xteer, Zic, Amsoil.

5w40 is still thin enough with no need to warm the engine prior to moving on. I would suggest this viscosity as the thickest for use as a FS option. Some semi-synthetic oils already have this viscosity.
For mineral oil, 10w30 for newer gas cars and 10w40 for older gas cars.

Unfortunately, when the light goes out, it doesn't mean it's 'proper' operating temp already. Engines don't go from ambient temperature to 90°C in a span of a few seconds. I still recommend that you feather it for the first several minutes while driving on the road to allow the engine to get near or at operating temp. After which, feel free to let her rip.
