Put your lawyer hat on (I'm not a lawyer): "Other viscosities shown in the chart may be used....."

So, if you happen to have some 10W-40 kicking around the garage, *and* your ambient temperature is 60F or more, it's OK to use it.

But the recommended oil viscosity is 10W-30 Smile.

You know, this was translated from Japanese. Asians are well known for their very friendly manner, to suggest things, even they are important to follow...

I would say, the temperature scale at the right says it all.
