It's way too thick unless the old engine is wore out & you just want to run it some more for a while.


They say money can't buy happiness. It can buy old Chevy trucks though. Same thing.

I ran that weight of oil one time. It was in a '77 Ford F150 w/ a 400 and I only ran it in the summer. Didn't notice any kind of benefit in any way over 10/30. Your best bet is to just stick with the recommended oil viscosity.
