Always stay with the factory recommended viscosity. It is not like the old days when thick oil had a benefit. Nowadays it can destroy your engine.

I guess you need to be clearer on what you are asking.
You asked,
should I stay with 10-30 or should I start with the 100,000 miles plus oil?
I took that to mean you wanted to use heavier oil.

That would be fine but not necessary. It would have minimal benefit.
