Default oil types

to start with; i recently bought a 2002 accord v6 with 14k on it and i'm ready to do an oil change. The manufacturer recommends 5w-20, but having owned a few accords i know that mobil 1 is just about the best sh-- to put in it! however, they(mobil 1) do not make 5w-20. Will putting in 5w-30 mobil 1 cause problems??, and do you think it will void the warranty???? i appreciate any advice you can pass on to me!

5w30 will be perfectly fine.

</TD></TR></TABLE> I agree the honda dealer probably has only one pump( the one I worked at did) and honda recommends like 5 different oils. I'll bet every car gets 5-30 anyways.
