Heard good things about that Royal Purple, how much does it cost and is it worth it?

The numbers mean somethign dont they? i thought the first one was for winter and the second one was for summer.
So like in summer you would want 5w30
then in winter you would want 10w 30

5 w = thinnest
50 w = thickest
75 & up gear oil
most cars use 5-30 or 10 - 30
