Considering the only "properties" you care about is viscosity, here you go. Looks like Olive Oil would be right around SAE 15.
Motor oil SAE 10
Viscosity
[Pa·s]
0.065
[cP=mPa.s]
65
Motor oil SAE 40
Viscosity
[Pa·s]
0.319
[cP=mPa.s]
319
Olive Oil
Viscosity
[Pa·s]
0.081
[cP=mPa.s]
81
I'll even supply you with the first 5 Quarts, What brand would you prefer?
(obviously not saying it is super similar to motor oil, but the viscosity is extremely similar. There is a lot of things that matter besides viscostiy, which is my basic point.)
