    that is a no no, it is harder for the piston ring to scrap thicker engine oil from the cylinder wall = more oil burn with thicker oil
    same with engine that uses hydraulic lifter, thicker oil = louder cylinder head/valvetrain tick.

    however, thicker oil might temporarily "fix" leaky valve stem seals.
