i just recently changed my oil, went to autozone and didnt had mobil1 10-40 so I bought a synthehtic Castrol 10-40. i think i should have used 5-30. would it be much of a difference. i have 57k now. ?

Only use what the engine requires.

10w-40 is a bit too thick. Unless you're living in death valley where temperature is darn hot, use 5w-30

Amsoil 5W-30 for engine and Mobil 1 75W-90 for 6SPD tranny.

Mobil 1. Changed to the synthetic about 2 months ago to prepare for the cold temps. With the oil and my remote start. I practically have no worries about premature engine wear when I drive off in cold weather.

I use Royal Pruple every 3-4k in my 93 sc300 with 222K on the clock.

Currently Mobil 1 5w-20, 0w-20 for RX300's 1mz-fe.
However, Mobil 1 is rumored to offset the increase in group IV base oil by going with the cheaper Group III base stock since late 2006. See thread in BITOG that has some hard evident.
With a demanding 1mz-fe engine, I need additional oxidation protection. German Castrol 0w30, Group IV PAO based oil, will be going into my engine in the future.
If GC go with the cheap route like Mobil and Pennzoil did, Pennzoil Platinum (group III) + Auto-RX will get the nod.

i can hardly find Castrol Syntec 0W30 german full synthetic here in canada now

thank you

A quick bit of research on Mobil 1's site will show you that it depends on which weight and type of oil you are using that determines if it's III or IV...

when I get to work later I'll post a link for it...
