It depends on the oil temps, year of car and modifications.

Post 2000 cars are set up to run sae 40
Pre 2000 cars either sae 40 or sae 50

If oil temps never exceed 100degC, do not use an sae 60 as it will remain too thick causing friction, heat and wear.

Most 10w-40 oils are semi synthetic, full synthetics tend to be 5w-40 or 0w-40.

Hope this helps.
