Just noticed it for the first time today at Walmart. Anyone here use it and if so any notable result?
STP Super Concentrated High Mileage Engine Flush
- Thread starter cwilliamsws6
- Start date
It's been out for a while, but availability has been spotty.
Used it in a sludger. Basic 15min idle flush. As effective as Liqui-Moly engine flush. Meaning you won't see any cleaning visually, but it may clean the oil passages and hydraulic lifters a little. Which in turn sometimes improves oil pressure or quiets down a noisy valvetrain.
Product has it's place, but I achieve same results with MMO, which is $4.12+tax near me for 32oz. And I like that MMO can be driven with. Offsetting low 5W viscosity of MMO with a one-step higher viscosity of motor oil is a good idea, although not required. Just a "safety cushion". (Example: if 5w30 is recommended, use 5w40/10w40 with MMO in 1:5 ratio.)

Just a no driving no load 5-15 minute cold engine idle flush directly before an oil change..... I don't expect to be better or worse than any other equivalent solvent engine flush.
My engines don't consumer oil or have any varnish/sludge buildup. I recommend a more sensible OCI with quality oil/filters.

What specifically were the great results?
More stable idle, quicker throttle response and acceleration, mpg improvement on highway.
I used the STP synthetic engine flush in the gold bottle. I don’t think it did anything. The engine oil came out same light brown color as it went in with additive. It’s a 190k Lexus v6 and I saw dark “stains” in the oil fill hole which led me to use it. I bought this one since it’s $7 not $18 like liquid moly.
YouTube videos had me hoping for a darker oil drain like the LM engine flush videos. Maybe my engine is super clean inside… or the STP didn’t do sh!t

Reading this hurts... That post is only 1 year and 4 days, but price has doubled since...
