the 15w 40 is dino oil (in other words its just plain oil, not synthetic) that is why it is cheaper. as for the rest of what your asking, the 15w 40 is a little thick but I have seen people on the internet with old Volkswagen beetles that use it alot, and say it works good, and it has a very small engine (but its still about 7 times the size of the GZ engine) and also you have to be careful using anything that thick when its cold, which is why they (beetle owners) use thinner oil in the winter. the beetle is also air cooled like the GZ. So I don't know if i would use it or not in my GZ, but I do use the 5w40 synthetic and i love it, I have used royal purple, lucas, and the suzuki brand, so far the Rotella synthetic is the best as far as performance and lasting.
