The higher viscosity will usually leak more slowly and protect the engine better, at the cost of a marginal amount of fuel economy.

well at one point it seemed like it was going through a quart like every 500 miles. maybe im exaggerating. it was on a 2000 mile trip. but i fixed the distributor seal and cam seal and it helped alot! i see a bunch of oil at the bottom of the timing cover and im afraid it might be my front mail but i dont know. could just be all the oil that leaked down from the cam seal. also my vtec solenoid is leaking. but currently the oil leakage has slowed down alot! running 10/30 i think with the MMO which thins it out quite a bit.
