Some commonly used grades of engine oils are: 10W40, 20W40, 10W50, 20W50, 10W30 and more. These grades determine the viscosity and the weight of the engine oil at different situations. For example, the 10W40 engine oil will have a 10 weight cold start and have 40 weight performance at operating temperature; which is better than a 5W30 engine oil, because the higher the number, the better the performance. But still, the engine oil grade is determined by the motorcycle manufacturer, and should not be meddled with.
