Yep, I think that Lucas oil stabilizer alone has a vis@100C of 110.

Question: Why use an oil stabilizer with a synthetic oil?

Comment: This is a classic example of why NOT to use an oil additive that has viscosity thickeners in it.

Thanks for the test info guys. I do have one thought however. Why does my oil never look foamed or anything when it is changed? I just have a doubts about the "real world" viability of the test. It was not in a motor with the heat and bearing clearances and I have my doubts.

Thanx
Joe

Not sure you are posting in the right thread.

Oil should not looked "foamed"

If you need an oil this heavy, the Amsoil Series 2000, 20w-50 would be a better way to go ....
