Yes, you can switch from 15W-40 to 10W-30 oil, but it's important to consider your vehicle's requirements and the operating conditions. The numbers indicate the oil's viscosity; the first number represents its flow at low temperatures, while the second indicates its flow at high temperatures. If your engine is designed to use 10W-30, this switch may be beneficial for fuel efficiency and cold starts. However, if your engine requires 15W-40 for better high-temperature protection, using 10W-30 might not provide adequate lubrication, especially in hotter climates or under heavy loads. Always check your owner’s manual for the manufacturer’s recommendations.
