Default Stupid question: What weight oil does the S2000 require?

I'm at work, the car is in the garage. I want to pick up a case of Mobil 1 on the way home. Is it a 10w-30 weight? 5w-30?

The S2K manual that I read this morning said 10W-30.

Because 5W-30 *used to be* the recommendation for S's running in cold climates. However, I think they (Honda?) have since retracted that recommendation -- 10W-30 all the time, no matter what climate etc.
