Why efficiency of heat engine is more in winter as compare to summer?

Because a thermal engine efficiency is directly linked to the difference of the temperature of the gases involved .As the gasoline burns at a set temperature , the lower winter temp helps to widen the temp differential between the ignited gasoline and exaust. Unfortunatley the colder air is more dense and generate more drag than in summer , more than negating the increased engine efficiency.
To put it in rough numbers , you may get 0.5% more engine efficiency but you lose some 4% more to extra drag.

What happens if a lower oil viscosity used in summer?
Lower oil viscosity SHOULD be used in the summer. The reason being is that with the lower viscosity, its easier for your engine to push it around. Less work=less heat=better fuel efficiency. Not so true in winter however, when changing oil in winter, opt for the higher vis. It will allow your engine to run a little warmer thus counteracting the cold. This is not true however if you live somewhere where the climate is decently warm in the winter. Here in the midwest, thats not the case.
