Parked right next to the Lucas oil stabilizer is Fram's new oil additive. I picked up a bottle and shook it. It seems quite thin for an oil additive, much, much thinner than the Lucas additive, and even thinner than the Lucas synthetic oil additive. I'd go so far as to say that judging by bottle shaking only, it seems to be about the same thickness as a 20w50 oil. It's priced the same as the conventional Lucas additive. I wonder how well this stuff could possibly protect an engine.
Saw some of Fram's new oil additive at Canadian Tire

Yeah, I saw that too but as I'm a satisfied customer with FP, LC and AutoRx, I just didn't have the urge to spend my hard-earned Canadian dimes on those snake oils.
STaying on with LC and regular AutoRx and am happy ever since...
Q.
You can perform an experiment with this new additive and report back your results?

The label has a warning on the back about it containing zinc-something or other. Maybe it's a ZDDP additive that could actually have merit in some engines.
Saw it at the local Advance Auto.
The best thing it has going for it is that it's not all thick like that STP additive that's like 9544143143413124314234123412 CST @ 100C.
I wouldn't use it unless I was trapped on a desert island with gas, a car with 15K on conventional oil in it and no motor oil.

If you were on a desert island... what would you need a car for?

It will probably be overpriced.
and the bottle will be cardboard
It goes for around $9/qt. at Advance.
^ I completely agree. ^
