you have to also remember that the owners manual is a guideline. it doesn't get changed depending on where the car is being shipped to. the suggestions it makes are something that can be used world wide in varying environmental conditions, cars that dont see the varying conditions that others do can use different levels of oil.

Yup.
...to further add...it's a stock V6...who the F cares?  It's not like we're talking about a 500hp motor that really needs specific oil based on how they're built.

5w30 and 10w30 are the same hot, no? SAE30 is the same viscosity as a 10w30 or 5W30 at 100° C or whatever hot is. No? 5 is thinner than 10 at cold temps. At least that is my understanding.

This.
10w30
5s30
0w30
Its all the same weight @ operating temps.
The first number is just for intitial start up. The 10 weight might be better for warmer temps while 0 or 5 would be better for warmer temps.
