only if your engine has trouble keeping the oil pressure up. If it hasn't a thicker oil won't do you any good.

What is the difference between 5 w 30 and 10 w 30?
The w refers to oil weight, or viscosity, the higher the number the thicker the oil. 10W 30 and 5W30 are formulated to change viscosity depending on temperature, with lower number being thinner for winter driving. Generally, 5W30 is better for winter and 10W30 better for summer, or 10 W 40 even better for summer. Check the car manual to be sure for specific type of vehicle.

Can you use 5w-30 in place of 5w-20 oil in acura?
I would go with the 20 since it's thicker. 20 is NOT thicker then 30. Yes you can use a 30 weight oil with no problems. 20W oil may be recommended in order to achieve maximum fuel efficiency but, using a 5W30 oil will protect the engine better!
