Not reeeeally the area you're talking about, but not a million miles away either; JL Bradshaw of Portlaoise, Carlow, Newbridge, and Tullamore carry a lot of Castrol stuff:

Yes, it refers to the 'thickness' or viscosity, of the oil.

In the case of a multigrade oil like the 15W-40 here, it conforms to 2 viscosity specifications;
'15' for Winter or cold conditions (the 'W' bit), and '40' at 100°C.

The actual numbers (15 & 40) refer to international specifications for how long it takes a specific quantity of the oil to flow through a specific sized hole at a specific temperature.


The 'Long Drain' bit in this particular instance is Castrol's brand name for oils for extended service intervals, usually used with sophisticated filtration systems.

Look into Valvoline oil, IMO it's much better oil.
