Also that entire section is an example explaining what oil weight is/means not necessarily specific to the vehicle either.

In the section before that, that is specific to the vehicle it clearly states.
recommended viscosity 0w-20 (no other weight listed as recommended such as 5w-30)
and states
If 0w-20 is not available 5w-20 may be used (doesn't say 5w-30), but MUST be replaced with 0W-20 on the next oil change (indicating its not ideal but an alternative in a pinch).
