Saw this BG MOA video and they compared it against Lucas, the point is fast forward to when they put the Lucas In the test. I'd say that would thicken any oil.
just past half way on the video
lucas video thick stuff
I wonder if thicker would give you better noack test numbers. i think I would be looking at an oil with the best noack as opposed to necessarily just getting a thicker product. Is that a sound theory or am I off on that?

What engine exactly... I have an engine rebuilding shop and i can usually find something
Ultra fine sawdust, not the chipped stuff. You will need to visit a real sawmill or horse stables supply shop, as it is the very fine darker brown stuff that works best. I use a hair dryer to get the moisture out, then mix it with the gearbox oil before use and change the oil every year. If you want it to last longer then soak it with some gearbox oil Moly before mixing with the box oil. Works wonders in a classic tractor box.
I can't think anyone uses oil thickner anymore as Mobil 10/60 EP would be better in the engine. Don't put sawdust in the engine oil or an auto box, just old tractor boxes that are rattling and leaking their way close to death or you will block the filter.
One teacup for 10 litres, mixed with a half can of gearbox Moly.

Skyship. You advocate no drive around engine cleaners yet you want someone toad sawdust to a machine.
This can't be for real.

I ALSO LIKE THE IDEA OF REBUILDING THE ENGINE. Ops caps-sorry
QT an hour . How much use do you expect to get out this diamond in the rough? If it is occasional use, you just found your waste oil repository. Either that or spend some time and money on the tractor. 90 weight gear oil?

Which is roughly the same thickness of a 20w-50. Gear oil and motor oil are graded differently however 70w-90 is very close to 20w-50.
