RE: Oil question
It shouldn't be a problem, but thicker is better in the summer. If you notice that your oil temp is more than a tick or 2 higher, get it changed. If there's no problem, use what you are supposed to on the next change.

I've heard that Honda has retroactively changed the oil spec to 5w-20 for Accords back to '98(maybe even earlier).

I agree about it not hurting for 1 change. I also agree that the change was to help MPG, but I think that the engines since the change have tighter clearances in the bearings since they are intended to have thinner oil.
