10-30 and later 5-30 were specified because those oils were used in EPA testing (fuel economy) and the manufacturer is not supposed to use one oil for testing purposes and another for general use. The heavier oils are listed in other markets, IE OZ where I believe the charts list up to 20-50.
The lighter oil in theory provides better fuel economy.
