My question is perfomance difference since I've used 10w30 and my oil temps on 80 degree weather (mornings) goes just up to about 180and during afternoon its about 200-210 if I spirit drive highest tops it goes 220 due to my 34R cooler. Also how many qts of 0w40 do I put since I got the 34R? When I installed it(previous oil change prior to this one) I put the OEM amount which was 5qts and 1/4.
Yeah, you may get a lot disagreeing with using this since it's not the recommended oil. My opinion is, try it and have the oil analysed afterwards. Having an open mind may lead to unintended consequences.

On the other hand.... you may crater that valve-train.
