Re: Stp?

40 years ago I used it to quiet down the rockers on a '66 Ford F100 with the I-240.
It worked for a short time. Now I understand that the viscosity additive was just shearing down.

Also, all of the race cars that advertised it, if they were honest at all, were probably just using it for assembly lube. And now there are better moly assembly lubes anyway.

Make your engine healthy first, if only with a simple de-ridge and ball hone and new rings and bearings. Then do regular oil changes. That's your best bet.

Still, an STP sticker on your car makes it go faster. Everyone knows that. ;-)
