Just to echo what I hope others have said, 0W20 is just numbers. It is
slightly thinner when cold than say, 5W20; and slightly thinner all the time
than 5W30. It will work fine, and perhaps save you a little bit on fuel costs.
If you want to run 5W30 oil, it won't hurt anything except perhaps burn a bit
more fuel. Just be sure to still use synthetic.
A little poking around on the Internet shows Mobil 1 0W20 for around $9/qt,
which is only slightly higher than most synthetics (I generally have to pay
around $7.50 unless I wait for a loss leader sale).
Check your local Wally-mart. Their web site doesn't list a price, but if they
carry it in the 5 qt jugs it will likely be a lot cheaper than the per-quart
price at other places.
