Don't hold out, let 'er rip! I promise to back you up whatever you say as long as you don't refer to oil viscosity as 'weight.'thats just the way did it back then
The stupid parts stores around here only shelf-stock VR1 Racing in 50 or 20-50  I got my latest supply from Amazon with a substantial rebate.
who cares what someone calls it as long as you know what they are talking about? i call it weight all the time and don't care if it's the politically correct name 
Don't accuse me of politics when I'm trying to inject a little science into the thread 
Blatantly plagiarized from Wikipedia:
"The Society of Automotive Engineers (SAE) has established a numerical code system for grading motor oils according to their viscosity characteristics. SAE viscosity gradings include the following, from low to high viscosity: 0, 5, 10, 15, 20, 25, 30, 40, 50 or 60. The numbers 0, 5, 10, 15 and 25 are suffixed with the letter W, designating they are "winter" (not "weight") or cold-start viscosity, at lower temperature. The number 20 comes with or without a W, depending on whether it is being used to denote a cold or hot viscosity grade. The document SAE J300 defines the viscometrics related to these grades."
