It's got 0W oil in there and I don't live in a v. cold area (Richmond VA area). This is a seal conditioner not a thickener...that's the Visco-Plus additive they make.Anything that "thickens" oil is not something I would want in the sump during the winter months.
It thickens oil too, in hopes to reduce consumption/stop leaks, or "save" oil. I would have gone with a HM oil if I was looking for seal conditioners, especially during the winter months.It's got 0W oil in there and I don't live in a v. cold area (Richmond VA area).

It works well, used it on a few different vehicles including a Toyota Sienna that would consume a bit of oil. (Shocking for those Toyota fan boys!).
It is thick, but does the job. I have two cans in my basement stash when needed.
That is what I was working on (oil pan leak) so after a few hundred more miles I'm curious to drop my belly pan and see if it's stopped.Worked well on a 2010 Ford E-350 with a light oil pan leak.
Ended up having the pan gasket/seal changed shortly after. It had been damaged (hit) which was the source of the leak. I'll run this stuff just as a good measure when I change the oil this month.Update @TiGeo ?
Run your fuel cleaner before you change the oil because the crud and additive ends up in the oil as well.Ended up having the pan gasket/seal changed shortly after.

Yep that's the plan.Run your fuel cleaner before you change the oil because the crud and additive ends up in the oil as well.
