Is it OK to run Mobil 1 10w-30 synthetic instead of 5w-30?

I live in AZ and thinking about doing the switch in my 2008 350z Base w/ 50K. Currently have only been running mobil 1 synthetic 5w-30.

Just wanted to check.

Thanks,

Shouldn't make any difference. I'm in FL, and have used both interchangeably in my '08. I've never seen any real difference in oil pressure at any engine or environmental temp.
