no car has to have 10w40 its only choice 10w40 means that the oil

can range from 10 weight to 40 weight so its only if you want to run

a thicker oil like to cover up a knock or something like that

Secondary Answer:

The above is not really correct. 10w40 has the cold flow ability of a 10 weight oil and is a 40 weight oil at full temperature. This does not mean that it gets thicker as it gets warmer, that completely defies the laws of science. There are currently no new US market cars that require 10w40. 10w40 was the recommended oil on some older cars.
