Viscosity in centistokes. Lower numbers mean thinner oil. Notice the big difference at cooler temps and the very slight difference at operating temp? Based on that, I might try the 0w-20 in my Civic, which also calls for 5w-30 like your Suzuki engine.

If you do an oil analysis, they will explain the results and make recommendations. I've never had one done myself, but I've seen other people's results online. Blackstone Labs seems to be the popular choice for analyzing oil.
