stp oil treatmentt

[Bulli]

I put about 1/3 of the bottle into the engine. Sounds like the engine likes it since it works quieter. The accord i believe has worn bearings. So i just want to know what does this stp oil treatment do? Does it "up" the viscosity?

It's not the best way to achieve increased viscosity. Plain oil has the correct formulation for whatever weight you choose and will be better than thin oil +STP.

+1 It is mostly polymer that makes your thicker. If you want thick oil, buy it that way.

Most 30wt oils are ~10.5 cSt @ 100C as refference. And 90wt gear oil is ~16cSt @ 100C. 140wt gear oil is ~26cSt.

waw thats nuts. Can this be a mistake??

 

[Tempest]

Probably not. It won't make your oil into 250 cSt syrup, but it may change your 30wt into a 40 or 50 wt. All depends on quantities.

250cst@100C = thick and rich and choc-o-late . . . umm yummy

unless it has other additives for AW, then it seems to be like the Lucas Heavy Duty Oil Stabilizer, after seeing ICP analysis of the LOS and the KV100 in the 200's i believe, i would not bother, as it would only serve to thicken the oil IMO, and from my limited knowledge, thicker oil will run quieter..but why not buy it formulated that way in the first place? am i off base?

Because people have a fear of seeing 20W-50 on the oil bottle; it's much less stressful to buy an additive with a harmless STP label.

I thought this has ZDDP in it also which would be a plus.

Pffffft!! Thick, no way! Bardahl B-2 is 667cSt at 100C. B-2, for real men!

yea.....you run that in your engine and you'd be standing there saying, "look, there she blows."

Yeah, but look at the date: 2005. Is the formula still the same today? Was that the blue or red bottle listed?

hair. It gave him the slick down look.
