It is a 20 weight vs 30 weight or 40 weight recommended by manufacturer and isn't on the list of approved oils.

Of those 2 reasons, the first makes me personally more leery.

I think you should spend for oil analysis if you go that route. It's the best way that I know to bring data to decisions like this one. I wouldn't lean on marketing claims or general advice when it comes to oil.
