No, it's not "bad". However, in the heat of the summer, your oil will be just a bit thinner than the 10W30. If you run the car in the winter and your winter gets cold, 5W30 is fine. If you track the car or drive it hard in the summer, you might be better off with the recommended 5W40 or 10W30.

Great! Thanks! I was in the habit of using 5w30 on my prelude and just bought it again out of habit when I did my first change on the S. I don't drive hard so I should be ok.
