I'd say keep with a 15w-40 if your engine likes it and the climate permits.

BUT: did you switch to 15w-40 because of burning, or to prevent it? That might change the reccomendation a little.

I'm with burnout. Usually Honda owners like 5-30 or 10-30 as its recommended and thicker oils make the motor less responsive. So if you engine wasn't consuming before the delo
I'd use 5-30 or 10-30 supreme or 1/2 delo and 1/2 5-20 supreme. But if you or the prior owner put delo in to stop consumption or smoke most of these recommendations will restore your previous condition.

the previous owner used 20w-50 in all of his cars and i was afraid a 10w30 would burn so i tried the 15w40, im going to take your advice and try supreme 10w30

I've owned two Integras with the D16A1, and having tried 15w-50 in one of them to slow some burning, I would take the consumption any day over the loss in response. Go with a quality 5w-30 or 10w-30, you'll notice an improvement in response over the 15w-40.
