Looking at the typical characteristic for viscosity (mm.sq/s) for each Castrol Edge oil weight, it is as so

Code:
Temp         5w30   5w40   5w50   10w60
 40C         66     75     109    163
100C         11     13     17     23
There are differences when the engine/oil is warm. I would still use VCDS and get two references for your current oil temp (I guess it's 5w30). Mrs Daisy v's Mr Marcin. Then we can see how hard your oil is working before making changes to oil weight.
