I've never had a problem with LOS, nor have I ever known anyone personally that's had a problem with LOS.
I've tried LOADS of oil additives over the last twenty-four years, and I always go back to LOS.
I really have to ask. How does thicker oil do all of these things. Lucas oil stabilizer has no additives and is super thick. Adding this diluted a perfectly good additive package already in the oil and thickens it. Why not save a few bucks and just go up a grade in oil thickness. Then you don't dilute the additive package of the oil. This reminds me of guys who blend different oils thinking they are getting the best of both worlds when in reality they are weakening the additive packages.
Try gear oil. It's cheaper. Or a straight 90w
I have no idea why it does it what it does, I just know I like the effect with a half a quart in the sump.
