Just use it, it's only oil, and soon some tw@ will come on and tell you that 60 grade is treacle

I use Millers 10w60 CFS myself.

It is like treacle, thats the entire point
Either use a good 5w40, 10w40, 10w50 or in the warmer weather a 15w50, w60 is 50% thicker at 100 deg than a 40, on a seriously modified car its good as those run much higher temps, on a standard or slightly modified car its not good, it will cause drag, and its more strain for the oil pump (not good if you have an older car with higher miles and on the original oil pump imo).
