way too thick... it will eat your horsies away.

now if you were running like an F1 engine, then fine.

Anything that thick, and you'd want to be in a climate over 80 degrees all the time... Not smart in the cold... It would burn up a starter in no time.

not to mention your battery, and fuel efficiency.
