it was 0w 40 so it thin stuff and i never seen after run oil so i can't compare but the stuff is a little thicker than cooking oil
You should be fine. It might be a little sluggish on the first start, but after that it will be fine. I've used straight 30w motor oil to oil my engines and never had a problem. Then I found out there's such a thing as after run oil, so I've been using that for the past few years.
