Question higher weight oil?

A buddy of mine has a 240 and he uses 40 nsted of 30. He claims that it gives him better performance, etc. I was wondering if going for the 40 weight actually helps like he said it does.
If it actually does help I was thinking about switching to the 40.

Let me know what you think.

Oil giving you more hp? hmmmmm hes lying, lol. If you wanna accually protect your motor, stick to what nissan recommends, they dont reccomend it for nothin. After all, they are the ones who designed the motor. I run 10w30 in the summer and 5w30 in the winter.

Cause in 105 degree weather my 5w30 thins out real quick. So I just use 10w30. I could use 5, but I dont so.
