bob or molakule, i been using 16 oz of 132 when i change oil i use delvac 1 5w 40..i want the perfect combination for my engines is this ok?...my 4.6 takes 6qts and my 5.4 takes 7...
No, it's a ep additive to help reduce smoking, wear,add viscosity to an existing oil.quote:

What if you use Schaeffer Oil but you want the viscosity at 100c to be a little bit thicker? (such as raising it from 10cst to 11cst)quote:

1 oz. per quart should be sufficient for an engine in good condition. It will supplement the oil with some additives you don't normally see in OTC oils. 16 oz. will thicken up an oil beyond
its viscosity grade.
You don't need it if you use Redline or Schaeffer's.
Yeah. I think Schaeffer has some of the best products out there but I wish they would widen their marketing to include personal vehicles and the performance crowd.quote:

I know what Schaeffer's says on the label, but those instructions are mainly for diesel engines used in mining and OTR that have a lot of miles on them, because their target markets are Farming/Ranching, Mining/Industrial, and the Trucking segments.

When I did the testing with LC and 132, I found that for thinner oils such as Mobil 1 SS 10W30, it takes about 250 mL to thicken it up about 0.75 cSt. Now for thicker oils, such as 15W40's and the like, it takes less to thicken them up; i.e., the proportion is not linear for all oils.
132 is not really a problem for increasing viscosity if used in moderation. The problem is later on when the oil thickens due to oxidation, etc, the thickening increases almost exponentially as the oil ages further.
But it does have MoTDC, SbTDC, and a great surfactant/anti-oxidant (an alkylanalamine).
If used in moderation (as I have explained in many threads), you will be OK.

Stick with Mola's recommendation and you will be safe.
