Viscosity Change with Oil Additive

[landtoy80]

The can of Lubro Moly Oil Saver says to adjust for viscosity change when adding to oil.

I added a can to 8 qts of Lubro Moly MoS2 10w40.

How would I go about doing the math to know what my viscosity is now after adding additive?

Not enough to even worry about. Happy New Year!

Gah, haven't used it myself yet, so...lol

Here are some specs from LiquiMoly:

Density at +20 °C : 0.89 g/cm³ DIN 51757
Viscosity at +20 °C : 4,000 mPa*s DIN 51398
Flash point : 76 °C DIN ISO 2592
Pour point : -5 °C DIN ISO 3016

^^^What does that translate into as far as 40* & 100* cSts, or better yet HTHS??
