10w40 is a thicker oil than 5w30. I would only use 10w40 in an older motor in the summer, if the motor was using too much 10w30. The thinner oil will not have the higher pressure. Pressure that this motor needed.? I would go back to the 10w40 and see if the knocking stops...the damage may already be done.
