2007 Vert 5w30 vs 0w30

My wife is eyeing a 2007 9-3 convertible, which we'll probably wind up buying. The owner's manual only specifies 0w30 and 0w40 oil. For my 2008 9-5, I use 5w30 (Amsoil). Would it be ok to use 5w30 in the 9-3, even though it's not specified? I'd like to just buy one oil for both cars, if possible (plus Amsoil's Euro 5w30 has better specs than their Signature 0w30).
The 5w30 will be a bit thicker than the 0w30 (at all temperatures), but both will be well within the 30 weight range. I assume that they went with 0w only for better fuel mileage, not for any engine protection reason.
Thanks in advance
