You said they recorded a viscosity of SAE 40W,
No such animal. SAE 20 is the highest viscosity for which there's a "W" spec.
The right hand number (without the W) is measured at 100C. Then, there's a measurement at 40C to calculate a "viscosity index". The "W" number is measured backwards - a viscosity range is defined and the temperature at which the viscosity range is reached determines the "rating".
You can go to http://www.lubrizol.com and find more about oil than you'll ever be able to stay awake reading!
