I agree, except I wouldn't even switch at all. 0W40 and 5W40 are, in theory, exactly the same at operating temperature. The first number tells you how well the oil flows in cold temperatures, nothing more. Obviously, the 5W40 might perform differently than the 0W40, but so might two 5W40 oils. If you don't live in a cold climate, you don't need 0W40. If you do run 0W40 for whatever reason, there's no need to switch to 5W40 depending on the season.
