Red face Motor oil weight.

I was just wondering if you can use other weights of motor oil for your impreza. I have 2007 TR, and I've been using Royal Purple 5w-20, and I wanted to try Motul, but they dont have 5w-20, so I was wondering if you can use other weights, such as 5w-30?

Anyone have any experience with Eneos oil?
Thanks.
