What oil viscosity should be used in a high mileage 1998 Honda Prelude?

The owners manual recommends 5W30. However, a mechanic that has worked on it for several years recommends 10W30 and even 10W40 for the summer because of its high engine wear at 112k miles and use at high RPMs. I'm using 10W30, and most people I ask say that 10W40 is just way too thick.What oil viscosity should be used in a high mileage 1998 Honda Prelude?
10/40 isn't too thick , you could go with straight 30 with no problem .
