Can I use 5W20 instead of 0w20 Honda?

Which is better 0W-20 or 5w20?
The smaller the number, the better the motor oil will flow. A 0W20 will be more fluid than a 5W20 at startup temperatures but will perform the same way at standard engine operating temperatures. Remember, engine oils naturally thicken as they cool down and thin as they are heated.
What kind of oil is in Amsoil XL 5W-20?
The AMSOIL XL series 0W-20 and 5W-20 oils are 6-month, 7,000 to 10,000 mile motor oils that are high performance, but use a Group III oil base-stock – these hydrocracked oils are the petroleum oil companies’ widely sold 1998 redefinition of a “synthetic” that wasn’t a synthetic before.
Is the AMSOIL rating the same as Honda’s?

Every place I’ve read says to do it every 3,000 miles. Amsoil problems? Okay… hypothetically let’s say Amsoil didn’t deliver as promised.
Why is 5W 20 oil recommended in OEM manuals?
We know that even OEM Lubrication Engineers do not agree with Ford and Honda’s calling for a 5W-20 oil, because the engines are designed for 30-weight oil, and engineers believe that a 20-weight oil will decrease engine life . (See 2007/2016 note below for detailed explanation.)
