chrisfast- I won't go into heavy detail, as it has been hashed to death here over the years, but there is a great article on FChat about oil weight and how to use it correctly. The second number in that weight is the critical one. This is the weight that the engine builders spec'd to provide sufficient flow and pressure at normal operating temperature in most conditions. For the NSX, that is 30W at 200 F, which will give adequate flow and 80 psi or more at 8000 rpm.
The first number is less important, since it is simply the cold weight of the oil. 30W is thick like molasess at even room temp, so it would not lubricate your engine at startup. So, the oil companies add compounds that thin out the oil when it is cold. Therefore, 0, 5 and 10W-30 all operate like 30W at normal temp, but have different cold weights. Thus, it is ok to use pretty much any of them as long as the second number is 30. I stick with 10W-30 because Honda had the opportunity to cold start the prototype engine thousands of times and determined 10W was ok down to 0 F for protection. Still, you can use 5 or 0 and it won't hurt your engine.
The trick comes down to oil weight in conditions that are NOT normal, like on a race track. It is common for NSX's on the track (especially in hot conditions) to see oil temperatures of 260 F or more. In these conditions, 40W oil is better, since it has similar flow and pressure to 30W at this high temperature. But remember that once temps go back down to normal (i.e., 200) this oil is too heavy to provide adequate flow. So, 40W and 50W oils really are track-only options that require gentle warmup laps to get the oil up to temp (staying below 5000 rpm) before you hit it.
A quick method to determine what to use is note your operating temps. if you drive your NSX in normal conditions and do not track, stick with 30W. If you track occasionally, 30W is probably still ok. If your car is a dedicated track car and you run hot, consider a 40W or 50W depending on your oil temps.
