Re: [FWDLK] Marvel Mystery Oil

[Ray Jones <hurst300@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

STP is little more than a Viscosity Index Improver. This is what the 
refineries add to oil when refining it to bring it up to the weight 
they want, like 40 weight. It mostly thickens the oil. Just buy thicker 
oil and save the money.

I used STP in the 60's and it damaged my 409 two times. The first time 
within 1 hour of the oil change and I didn't connect the damage to the 
STP, but the second time, it blew within 5 minutes of the oil change. 
I've never used it since and have never lost another engine either!
regards, Ray
