According to STP: "Some after-market oil additives contain corrosive chemicals, including chlorine-based lubricating compounds that may be harmful to internal engine parts. STP® products do not contain any corrosive components and are safe for use in all engines." I've never used it. |

First used STP in my '51 Ford Crestliner flathead V8 in 1964 to reduce oil usage - and it worked. Used it many times in old cars & trucks, and once in a '73 Triumph Trident motorcycle.
It does help reduce oil consumption in old vehicles with bad rings......

After running my bugeye Sprite for 278K miles I became a believer that maybe STP was a worthwhile addition to the oil mixture. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/confused24.gif) |
