**edit: wrong, i had them reversed in my head**The first number in front of the W means the viscosity range in Hot, the second number is the viscosity range in cold. So ideally, you want an oil that is higher in the first number and lower in the second. This means the oil has a more stable viscosity in variable temperatures.

Where I live, in winter it can get as cold as upper teens, to low 20's F. In the summer July-Sept, it can get as hot as 100-110 F ambient temps.

Pipes & clamps at your local hardware store.
Do note that the coolant ports under the throttle body have slightly different sizes (one being a bit smaller) which is why I suggest grabbing clamps.
