While it certainly wouldn't be my first choice, it shouldn't be a problem.

Ford and Honda have recommended 5W (or0W)-20 for a couple years now. Think Toyota has also gone to that.

It gives a bit better fuel economy, though you may not see any. Over the fleet use, it can save them some grief with the government.

Were it mine, I'd change oil myself, once a year, using AMSOIL 0W-30.
