The 5W is the cold rating — how readily the oil pumps on a cold start — and the 40 is how thick it still is at operating temperature. Both numbers have to match what the manufacturer specified; a heavier hot number is not an upgrade.
We list 15 bottles in 5W-40 from 5 brands — Castrol, Liqui Moly, Maxima Racing Oil, Motorex and Motul — priced $12.92 to $140.89. They run full synthetic. 1 is on our shelf in Orange right now.
By make, from our spec records: BMW 24, VESPA 4, APRILIA 2 and Can-Am 2.
