Salamf friends,
My car Toyota corolla xli 2012 model is driven 25000 KM and I have been using HAVOLINE ProDS FULLY SYNTHETIC 5W 40 oil. I don't drive the car very often. Is it possible for me to switch to HAVOLINE FORMULA SAE 10W 30 ? I hope it won't harm the car, the reason to consider this oil is cost but definitely not at the cost of compromising engine. Please advise.

No its not recommended even 5w40 is little bit on higher side 5w30 fully synthetic is recommended 5w40 is fine also but no need to jump on next series until or unless engine start cosuming it

synthetic oil is better for engine health in long term. You wont notice it immediately but your engine will thank you years later.

Its price is very low as compare to others, is it synthetic or semi-synthetic,
what should be the ideal drain interval of this oil?
