Well the engine should have 5W30 in it, as that's what it calls for. But if you have higher mileage on the engine, 10W30 will not hurt it, it will help because it's has more weight to it, so it will not go pass seals and rings as easy.

10w30 is fine. May hear a bit of a tick on colder days (not any time soon) when you start it up, heavier oil takes a tad longer to make it to the valvetrain, but as said, it will not go past seals as easy. When I had an ls, used both 5w30 and 10w30 with 300k on it, had no problems or adverse affects.
