check out HERE... those numbers are the thickness, usually older and higher mileage engines use thicker (higher numbers) so as to protect the engine better, if i remember correctly...

suppose your car can 'breathe' better with such after market filters, suppose to be better for FC since your car can pick up better n smoother, but still up to individuals' drivingn style lor... me using K&N, not bad, not bad at all hehe...

5w30 is gd for better fc and smoother pickup since ur engine is still quite new.

so far 5w30 is good for pica. think after 50-60k, better use 5w40. anyway i using C&C Shell EO which is 5W40. so far much smoother than mineral 5W40
