20w-50
This is heavy viscosity stuff. My main concerns would be the flow properties on cold starts and power robbing drag on crankshaft rotation. I'd only consider a 50W in extreme, high temp, high rev endurance applications.
Edit: I tried 5W-50 M1 as a summer oil here in the tropics, but gave up on it, as it caused lifter noise.
