I drive a 91 Accord with 210000 miles and need to put some oil in it. What is the best thing to put in it?

If you just want to level it, I guess any oil is good.

As far as I remember on my son's 95 and mine 99 the manual recomends the use of 5W-30.

20-50 is much thicker oil. During the startups it will take more time for oil to get to vital engine parts that need lubrication right away. This will increase engine wear.

I am not a pro, but if I were you I would go by the manual: 5W-30. My son for many years has been using 10W-30 in his 95 LX. His engine runs fine.
