The first bit, 10w just refers to cold flow characteristics. 0w or 5w would be better if you live in arctic conditions. The lower the number the higher the price, but the easier the starting when cold. The second bit refers to the viscosity at or near operating temperature. Generally better to avoid a number lower than the manufacture specifies since increased wear will result, but how quickly and how significantly is anybody's guess.
