Default 0W-20 and warranty

Can anyone tell me if I use 5W-20 oil in my 2010 CR-V that calls for 0W-20 oil, will it void my warranty?

wherever you have been taking it for oil changes has probably already been using 5-20

No they have definitely been using 0W-20, full synthetic. But according to every mechanic that I have talked to 5W-20 will work just as well as the 0W-20 but Honda won't tell you that because of their CAFE numbers are better with the thinner oil.
