If your that strapped for cash you can't swing $2 you should probably not be driving at all, and certainly be looking for a different car.
Will it destroy your engine, of course not. But there is most definitely a difference and I just don't see a reason to ignore the manufacturers recommendations over something so trivial. Believe it or not sometime engineers actually know what their doing
