Look in your manual. The 20 or 30 is mainly dependant on weather conditions.

You can go synthetic but it may cause leaks b/c you are around 100k. If your car begins to leak oil, switch back to dino oil. I use Penzoil High Mileage.

I have been using Amsoil 5w-30 in my 98 accord for over 110K (currently 174K). I change it between 15 and 25K. Never any issues with Amsoil. They also make a 25k filter which makes life convenient.
