Couple people have said it- I'll say it again-
First number is what the oil acts like when it is cold- 5W, 10W, 15W etc
Second number is what it operates when it is warm-20, 30, 40 ,50, 60
Sounds like a beer-build pretty soon.

I just wanted to give this update on my engine cut-out and oil pressure problems. I spent so much money replacing the fuel pump and sender, the computer and so much down time it is really ridiculous! Turns out the Doctor was wrong and the best advice came from you guys in the group. you are the best. At the end of the day the major reason my car was not running correctly is a relay. in my 1987 vette this relay is on the driver on the firewall between the head ad the Master cylinder. I think the part number is 14078915. Is this the Fuel Pump Relay? Any way I bypassed this with a fue and replaced the oil sending and sensor behind the distributor as well as the ICM and changed the oil from 5W30 to 10W30. The result is continuos flow and operation of my motor with stall outs. SO MUCH FOR THE DOCTOR!!! a relay! a 10 dollar PART!!!
