I'm not sure, but I would think they design the clearances in the engine for a 20 weight oil. Why would you want to force a thicker oil between the bearings and the crank/cam or whatever? Can't you find your moms/daughters/brothers etc. vehicles to use the 5w30 in?
Engines are designed to run thick oil just fine. If they weren't cars would be littered on the side of the road up north during winter.
I'm running 5w-30 in my Toyota with that engine. Nothing to report.
