Snake Oil Stash

Yep I knew I could find what I was talking about.

It is BrianWC that had that stash of additives.

Hmmm....not bad. I think...

SLOB still around?
Probably not - the bottles were the most breakage prone brittle pieces of packaging made.

I drained all of my SLOB into a couple of gallon jugs of DELO 15W-40 containers, as MechTech said, they start to leak over time. I kept one bottle as a souvenir and it still has the Big Lots price tag on it.
BTW, I'm not a fan of oil additives WHEN THEY ARE NOT NEEDED, but the MMO bashers here are just the people who have never had to use the stuff. I've watched the product clean up several engines that were neglected before I purchased the car.

I have used MMO and really I noticed no difference at all for anything in the crankcase or in the fuel tank. But I do not tend to neglect my stuff.

HAH! Yep, I just posted other day that I still have 40 bottles of SLOB. I did some more rearranging of the stash last night and discovered 3 more. So I still have 43 bottles of SLOB. I mainly use it as a top up.

I also still have something like 14 bottles of arx, most of that 75k plus stuff, 2 bottles of VSOT, all that CD-2 version of Lucas aka thick goop, 4 quarts of MMO....

Sigh...

But the good news is, I still have a ton of oil, as well. And except for a stint in 2009/2010 when I bought a few rounds of 5W20 for my then new Odyssey and Fit, I've been running off stash oil/additives from no later than 2007.

I just changed out the factory fill in my Si for 5W30 Supertech dino (SM), a splash of VOST, and half a bottle of arx. Think I'm going to ignore MM for this car (which still had me at 30% at almost 10k miles) and just do the 3,000 mile routine. I'm pretty much all highway all the time so anything short of a bucket of superglue and grits should perform ok based on past experience w/ the Honda k24...
