If there are no leaks and the car runs fine then don't change a thing. I used to use 10W30 in my old Acura Integra at 180k miles and it was no problem. It eventually started leaking and I sold it.

I've heard that those motors are really sensitive to the weight of oil. I used to use 5-20 synthetic in my 2001 and it seemed to be happy [Smile]
