Don't use any of these things. What they do is to thicken your oil. You want something to make the oil as thin as possible not to thicken it.

If the oil is thick, the oil will have a hard time to "flow" through every engine part.

In an old car, on the other hand, you want thicker oil becasue the engine parts are very likely worn out already. So, they have a bigger gap or clearance for the oil to "flow" through. So, you want thicker oil for old car.
