Default WTF went online searching for type E weight specs

After half an hour searching I have come up with Type E weighing anywhere for 5w ( this site) to 20w. The average was 10w. Does anyone REALLY KNOW what weight Type E fork oil is????? ( Note: my local stealer parts man says it is 10W. )

The Amsoil site says that their 10w replaces both H-D Type E and B - They both aren't 10W ???
