P.S. There is something that bothers me when people talk about the second number in an oil's viscosity rating. Looking at the table above, it is obvious that none of the oils increase viscosity as they get warmer. I believe the second number indicates an oils resistance to viscosity loss, a higher number resists a viscosity decrease better than a lower number, or maybe the oil will have the viscosity of that single weight at the test temp. Could someone shed some light on that(?)
