No I wouldn't do that. You may be ok with 10w30 at the most.

You will not hurt your engine to use the higher weight oil. It may decrease your fuel mileage slightly - a higher weight oil offers superior protection except during start-up when the thicker oil may take slightly longer to "prime" the system. Per my Cornell University Auto Engineering instructior - it's ok.
