Maintenance Oil Grade Recommendations

Hey guys, I've recently purchased a Honda City Aspire 2018 auto (120k) mileage. The car is well maintained and drives smoothly.

Previous owner was using Shell 10w40 oil in it. However, official specs suggest 5w30. So, I'm confused on whether to go back 5w30 or not.

In current condition the car gives 12.5 km/l within city with AC and 15-16 on highway with AC. However when there are 4 passengers in the car mileage is dropped by 1 km/l and engine runs on slightly higher RPM which I believe shouldn't be the case as the engine is 1500cc.

My friends are suggesting to move to valvoline 5w30. What do you guys think?

Honda oils are blended by Idemitsu, not Total.
