Look at the oil fill cap (or the ownwer;s manual, if you have that).
Although both have the same viscosity grade in cold weather, 5W-40 is thicker than 5W-30 at warmer temperatures. Rarely (if ever) do vehicle manufacturers recommend putting 5W-40 oil in a gas-powered engine.

Is 5w40 better than 5W-30 in summer?5w30 can be used by different type of vehicles and in different range of temperatures, but is ideal for colder temperatures. 5w40 is often used in higher mileage engine sand performs better in warmer temperatures.
Is 5w40 better for hot weather?5w40 is better for starting your engine at low temperatures as it flows more easily at these temperatures. When the engine is running and hot, 5w40 and 10w40 have high viscosities and are equally effective in protecting against engine wear.
