It's best to comply with the manufacturer specifications unless you are certain that a specific oil surpasses those specifications. The specifications cover many aspects of the oil, and these days, the impacts of not using them could be big.
Ignoring the manufacturer's specs and using a good quality oil and changing it ofter (likely far more often than the manufacturer's specs) may be fine. If you're a gambling man, then go for it.
