What?
Does no harm?
What would you call increasing both cold and hot viscosity and diluting the original oils additive package,while adding VII that are guaranteed to shear and if the interval isn't shortened sludge will start accumulating,not to mention a reduction to the original oils tbn.
I'd call that harm. Period.
Op. Nothing about today's oils need to be stabilized. Nothing. This stuff is a non-additized,uber thick 70 grade (or thicker) group 1 basestock oil and has absolutely no business in a modern engine.
It thickens the oil in the sump while diluting the oils additive package which then requires a shortened interval. So by adding it you are increasing drag,lowering mileage and because of the diluted add pack and lowered tbn the oil needs to be changed sooner. So you are paying for a product that ends up costing you more money with a shortened interval and potential sludge as the junk viscosity index improvers shear.
If you want thicker oil but thicker oil. The additive package will remain as formulate,not diluted and the oil will pump faster cold.
Just because that garbage sticks to the plastic wheels on the stupid display at the parts counter doesn't mean it accurately represents it's behaviour in a cold engine at start up,nor a hot engine cooling down.
If you want to use an oil additive there is only 1 brand I have confidence I. And use myself, liqui-moly.
I do here great things about archoil though however I've never used the stuff do I cannot comment on whether it works as advertised. I can say without a shadow of a doubt that liqui -moly products works as advertised in my experience using them in countless vehicles.
Not that I would recommend using an oil additive whatsoever while a new vehicle is under warranty. No way would I risk potential warranty denial.
Lucas oil stabilizer is junk.
I've had mixed results using the fuel treatment. Some vehicle respond with a fuel consumption increase, others get better mileage,so I don't bother with it anymore either.
