0W-30 ... 0W-40 ... or 10W-30 as we head into summer?

Has anyone found anything conclusive to prove/disprove that rumor?
I'd have no problem trying out the M1 5w40 SUV formula if they're the same, but I don't really want to go out of my way to track down delvac.

I don't think I've ever seen mine break 250 (maybe just barely a couple times) ...
Of course, it's never been on the track. However, even driving spiritedly in summer with ambient temps over 110, I haven't noticed the oil running exceedingly hot (i.e. 275-300).

That was kind of a fleeting moment, if you will. ;-)
It was for sale, and still is for the right price, but only because I felt I needed (read: wanted) something different/new. I don't feel like spending thousands in maint costs, which is a given for this car after 75k miles (or sooner), and tend to churn cars quickly in general (the S4 is the longest I've owned a car, both time- and mileage-wise).
I'm holding off now for the B7 RS4.
