Both weights are still acceptable as per AMG.
They recommend 0w40 but it tends to consume oil quite easily hence switching to 5w40.
I think you guys are splitting atoms here. The only difference between the two is oil consumption.

Not sure if was posted before as the post a bit dated, but there's a lot of good info. Its a long read, but worthwhile imo.

MBWorld Fanatic!
Dealer's in Socal are still using 0-40w. If a change to 5-40 is recommended why not go to Catrol 5-50. Same cold viscosity with a higher hot viscosity. BTW all oils synthetic or non-synthetic are designed to work with each other. A quart of the wrong type of oil added between changes is not going to hurt anything.
