Is the 10w40 compatible to the 10w30 due to the 10w30 seems no longer available now?

10w30 oils are still made, if you're not seeing it on the shelf, ask for it, shop around, call the distributors...

Check your owner's manual, there should be a chart showing what grades of oil are suitable based on temperature, you'll most likely find that a 10w40 can be used across a wider range of temperatures than a 10w30 can.
