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.)
