Default Service Time - What Oil 5w50 or 5w40?

Scoobys due its service (4th since I've owned it) & have used Valvoline VR1 5w50 oil as that's what was used in the previous services the car had so didn't want to change but am I doing the right thing keeping it the same even tho people suggest 5w40?
Its for an 06 Blob Wagon dyno'd 292bhp if that helps
Thanks

5w40 is ideal.

Hi

Yes, 5w-40 is the grade to go for.

Cheers
