Synthetic engine oil. The number forty means the thickness of the motor oil when the engine is hot and five is the thickness when the oil is cold. The 5w40 motor oil is thicker than your average motor oil. Therefore, it lubricates any engine better than your average motor oil. This motor oil is made to seep into the moving parts of the engine.
