Sure, why not??

The difference is, the more viscous and adhesive the oil is, the more power it
takes to move things through it, especially bearings and pistons, where the
film is thin. Also the less it can penetrate into tight places, like the
tiny portion of cylinder wall under the thin portions of your oil rings.
And where oil doesn't go, lubrication doesn't happen and wear does.
(Maybe I should have posted this in the "Opinions" forum.....)
