I would put in what they specify for the most part however most manufactures switched to the lighter weight for CAFE compliance I believe.

No, nothing will happen, not even your warranty.

ive used 5w-30 everytime i did oil change, no problem at all.

If anything, I woudl prefer to go 5W30 for the higher heat protection on both EX and Si.
