Oh, dude, it's like this - the numbers represent the viscosity of the oil at different temperatures. The "15w40" means the oil flows like a 15-weight oil in cold temperatures and a 40-weight oil in hot temperatures. The "15w50" flows like a 15-weight oil in the cold but a 50-weight oil in the heat. So, the main difference is how thick the oil gets when things start heating up.
