Any Damage to Engine by using 5W-20?

Hi, any damage to the engine if I use 5W-20 rather than the recommended 5W-30? Thanks.

Probably not, but why?

Will you also fill with only four quarts, put less pressure in the tires than recommended or fill the radiator half way?

I wouldn't play around with the weight of the oil too much. I have experiences where using different weight oil will cause random cyclinders to not fire
