actualy in the Honda Manual there is a little scale of what oils to use in certain weathers, and higher weight oil is suposed to be for hotter climate

yeah I just remembered the guy at the Honda dealership telling me that. It shouldn't hurt to go back to 5w20 if they don't have 10w30, but since it is the racing formula there might be something different in it. Try it for like 1,000 miles then if you don't like it then go back to 10w30.
