I was told that the 5W30 was for newer vehicle.

The difference between 5w-30 and 10w-30 is that the 5w flows more easily at cold temperatures. At warm temperatures they flow the same. That's it.

Either one is fine.

Honda has been using 5w30 since the mid 80s. It's what I use all year round. About 3.3-3.5L and you should be good.
