the first # is viscosity when cold, the second, viscosity when hot. I run Mobil 1 0w 40. True synthetic, unlike their other off the shelf oils and will handle the higher oil temps better.

I wouldn't go higher than a 40 weight oil in a street car tho. If it's a track only beast, then perhaps a 50 weight.

Another good true synthetic that is easy to find is German Castrol 0w 30. Very good oil and UOAs on both the ones I mentioned seem to be very favorable.

Also Redline makes good stuff as well.
