Default Oil Confusion

Hi I've had my S2000 for a year now, it's a 2000 plate & coming up for 155k miles still sounds and runs like new. The garage I purchased it from gave me a years warranty which is now out. The last service they put in 10w 40 semi synth. saying it would be ok for an engine of this age. To my understanding the car historically has taken 5w 30 fully synth. I checked on line ( not this forum )and ended up very confused, anyone out there can give any suggestion / guidance would be gratefully received.

Best regards Tom K
