okie dokie. i really dont think the differences in the numbers matters that much. w.e is in stock at vatozone is what i buy. pretty much always valvoline. i cant see the weights making THAT much of a different to the point the bearings fail cause it wont stay on them. when my bottom end blows up, ill let you know.
