Default what weight (oil) is everyone using?

I just purchased a 94 accord ex with 106000 miles on it... I am going to change the oil soon and so synthetic, but I was wondering what you guys feel a good weight would be. I would imagine a little higher than normal, but i'm not to sure. Any help would be GREAT!!!

Where you drive your car (Florida), you can use either 5W-30 or 10W-30.
During extremely hot seasons you could actually go to a 10W-40 on high(er) milage vehicles.

Agreed.
The "high mileage" oil is garbage too.
