Let me throw my 2 cents out here! W stands for WINTER, not weight. Oil is measured with viscosity. So for those of you using the wrong thicker oil, think this way if you force a thicker oil through smaller passage you're damaging the seals. Viscosity rating has something to do with WINTER due to oil freezing. Let me double check with my Army books lol....
