What I’m gonna do is use 0w20 in winter and 0-30 in summer
They could but they probably will not go through the trouble to prove that you used different engine oil viscosity as per your technical manual.

Also - just theoretically , i have not tested this - but both are 0W - so it would be the same cold viscosity .

Only the viscosity at high temp differs , the 30 vs 20 part. Again , i've seen 0w-20 oil and at room temperature it does seem thinner than 0w-30 - but if go by the manufacturer , they should be similar.
