don't hold me to it, but everyone thinks the W stands for weight. if fact, it stands for winter. now here's the "don't hold me to it" part… The second number is viscosity at operating temperatures I believe. smaller number is thicker, bigger number thinner and so forth...
Here's what it says about that on How Stuff Works "What does the weight mean on a can of motor oil":

suit yourself, but 1 other thing you should take into consideration, is price and availability. the castrol is less expensive, and you can get it at most autozones. the castrol will do virtually what the amsoil will do.

I dont know about 0w, doesnt sound good to me. You ever leave a girlfriend for somebody "better," and realize, the first one was just fine? Well, if you leave Mobil 1 10w40 for anything else, you wouldnt gain anything except the fact that you spent more money for nothing. Im a die hard Mobil 1 user.
