Will 5w-30 be safe enough to use year-round... or not?
You'll be fine. Though it's not the same engine, I had three 2.5's that logged over 800K miles between them and all I used was 5w-30 for the entire "life" of each engine - year round. Now where I live (eastern VA) does not get below 0*F often - coldest we usually get is mid teens, but we do get over 100*F frequently in the summer.

Your vehicle is a 2002 and unless you have a lifetime extended warranty (or do you?), there are no warranty issues.

Today's oils are far better than they were just five years ago. Why do you think the max oil change interval is up to 8,000 miles on some new models.?
