Part of the problem is you picked one of the coldest days we have had in Missouri to put that thick goop in there. I have run #132 Moly E.P. Oil Treatment which is thick, but have also put MMO in there so it is not too thick. If it were me, I think I may just put in some MMO. You can buy a pint and get one free at Advance right now. I will be using some MMO toward the end of my oil change. I have run a quart at the beginning of an oil change occasionally in the winter. Probably the only thing that will destroy that engine is lack of oil. I have put all kinds of concoctions in there and it only runs better. If I had it to do over again I may have just used regular oil with regular oil changes and regular topping off. So far, Pennzoil Yellow bottle has been the best for my oil consumption. It helped a little.
