Got my AVMs, can i use this oil?

Just got my Rugged Ridge / AVM hubs and all i could find around the garage was 5w30 synthetic, it says to use either 5w20 or brake cleaner for lube'n the internals of the new hub. I should be good shouldn't I?

Brake cleaner for a lubricant!!!! That wont do shit. Brake cleaner is a solvent. It has no other purpose than to wash away oil and evaporate leaving no residue.

Use the 5w20.

I think i misread it, needed the brake cleaner for cleaning off the old stuff, anyways, the idea is i don't have 5w-20 but i do have 5w-30, can i use this and be ok?
