OR maybe even both!?
Okay, I'm starting a new thread because I don't want to thread jack and I'd like to start a thread for those questioning to use the two additives in the thread title in particular, to use in addition to any particular oil.
Personally, I'm interested in the Lubro Moly mos2 and the LubeGard Engine Protectant with BioTech, after reading the two long threads, also in the oil additives forum, regarding each respectively and others performing their tests and posting results.
Here are my two vehicle applications in question:
1999 2.4L Dodge Stratus, currently running on Amsoil SSO 0w-30 for the first time after MaxLife Valvoline and Mobil1 AFE for the last 2-3 years. I did the typical 3k mile changes until my last Mobil1 change prior to Amsoil, I left it in there for 6-7 months, but it was only driven for 1k miles and so I changed it. It was driven less than 2,500 last year in total, as it stopped being the daily driver and typically won't ever go over 4-5k at most in a given year.
I'm leaning on the side of not adding Lubro Moly, since its most valued for it's "plating" effect onto the metal inside of the engine and that means for cars in constant operation, but perhaps the LubeGard product for it's 'anti-oxidation' help as I'd like to leave the Amsoil SSO in the Stratus all year and change it once, topping off when necessary as it may lose 1 Quart over the course of 3k miles.
Really, though, is it overkill for use with Amsoil SSO? My only reason for considering it is that this car will go a week or two without being driven at times, or possibly more. It currently has 125k miles.
2nd application, the daily driver:
1992 Civic VX at 245k miles using Amsoil SSO 0w-30. It's driven 12k-15k per year. I am interested in adding one or both of these additives for this engine. My reasoning, the LubeGard can get me to 10k per OCI without problem in theory on top of Amsoil and the LubroMoly would be a nice bonus to 'anti-wear' and help with any cleanup that is probably still going on with this engine being so high in mileage(I did the same MaxLife to Mobil1 AFE for this vehicle but only over the course of the last year+).
My question is, again, do either products seem logical for use in my 2 applications? If so, one or the other, both?
NOTE: If anyone wants to read the two threads I went through, here they are for reference...
