Hello all,
I am new here. I wanted to know if Schaeffer's 132 Moly E.P. Oil Treatment will really help with rings? i do not want to rebuild the engine.
let me give you some background. i bought a 1987 monte carlo ss, all orginal with 27k orginal miles on it. the car now has 31k on it. I have had to replace the carburetor, radiator, distributor, cap, rotor, plug wires, and plugs. the car sat in a showroom its whole life.
When i first bought the car the oil pressure was showing about 18 on my dash. My good friend who is a gearhead told me to drive it for 20 minutes a day for a month with regular oil in it and then change to royal purple HPS 5w30 to clean it out. I did that and my oil pressure went up to 40 on the dash gauge. Then about a week ago it started smoking when i put my foot in it. My friend says its the rings and that we should rebuild it. My machine shop suggested i try Schaeffer's 132 Moly E.P. Oil Treatment. Will this really work or is it a waste of money? Can I use Schaeffer's 132 Moly E.P. Oil Treatment with royal purple hps?
I use the royal purple oil filter as well.
thank you
