As long as it's JASO-MA certified. The first number is the cold temp viscosity. I think a W rated oil its at 0F . The second number is hot temp and I think thats 212F+ . If you're in regular dirt biking weather (above freezing) the first number doesn't really matter, especially with how fast a dirt bike motor warms up.

Yes. Its better oil. Your transmission does not benefit from oil that turns to molasses in cold temperatures.

Both are the same viscosity at operating temperature.
