Its too early to tell, let me put a few hundred miles on and i will let you know.
But i can tell you that the consistency is nothing like Lucas stabilizer, this stuff seems more like an engine oil it flowed just like like the castrol syntec, my best guess would be this additive is not a tacktifier but more of a zink and moly boost with a sythetic carrier.
I am not a chemist or know for sure what is in this product so the statements made are only observations and guessing.
 
Thanks for the info. Where did you get it? I saw the dino oil version in Family Dollar or one of those stores for $2.50/qt. They didn't have the synthetic version, and Fram doesn't show it on their website, at least I couldn't find it.

I shook the dino version bottle and it had the same consistancy as oil.
 
2001 Mercedes Benz E320. 3.2L gasoline naturally aspirated engine with 63,000 miles. FSS (flexible service system) indicated service B in 1300 miles, changed early as oil had 12,500 miles on it.

Used 8.2 quarts Mobil 1 0W-40 and Mann fleece oil filter. M1 0W-40 meets MB 229.5 which is what MB recommends for all gasoline powered FSS cars.

Also changed the engine air filter and cabin air filters (both Mann filters).

I couldn't stand the thought of my mom paying $500+ for a service B at the MB dealer for what amounts to a glorified oil change.

4qts PU in my 2010 Civic 1.8L with a Puro classic filter.

NOTE: I used M1 EP before this change and I am absolutely floored with how much smoother this engine runs with Pennz Ultra. It is not a smooth engine to start with, the muffler has stopped shaking too. ...D@#$ you Wallymart for taking the 5 qt. jugs away!!!!

Today I changed the oil on my sister in law's 2003 Saturn Ion. This vehicle has the 2.2L ecotech engine that takes 5 quarts of oil and has an "in-engine" oil filter. I used 5 quarts of 5w-30 Havoline Deposit Shield that I had in my stash. The GM oil monitor has this car going about 7,200 miles between changes on average, this one was 6,900 miles. The engine is up to 84,000 miles.
 
Drained 6.5 qts of Castrol GTX 5W-30 out of my '85 Corvette track car. The dipstick was smelling "fuelish" due to a lot of mapping experimentation on the ECU. Lots of starting and idling trials, some chassis dyno time, a few trips back and forth to work, and 4 track days. Probably not much more than 1500 miles, total. The oil looked pretty thin and black for no more miles than that.

Refilled with Mobil 1 5W-30, which makes it common with my Camaro, so I don't have to keep two different kinds of oil around. Still have 2.5 quarts of GTX, so I guess that goes in the lawnmower, little by little.
