Stick with 5w 30 as recommended by Honda.

I think 01-02 say 5W20 on the oil cap....my 98 says 5W30 on the oil cap. I remember going to Park Honda out here in Akron. They've got a chart that says 98-02 Accords 5W20....

But I'll trust my oil cap and owners manual and stick with the 5W30.

It also depends upon how many miles you have on your car.
It's reccommended you use 5w 30, but if you're over 100K miles and consuming oil, (like me) you can go to 10w 30 which is a little heavier.
