I remember TallPaul saying that Valvoline Synthetic Oil Treatment (VSOT) will thicken 5 quarts of oil one full grade; what other oil additives do that?

TallPaul if you're reading this, was it one full grade or a half a grade?
 
wrong section, this is the coolant area, but in response to that, anything thats high viscosity used in the right proportion will thicken the oil, VSOT happens to be a 165wt compound, so not much is needed to thicken stuff up.

1oz per quart brings cSt @ 100C up about 0.7
 
Are you looking to thicken your oil?

VSOT will add about 2 cSt to avg crankcase, so probably more like half a grade increase.

I like the idea of creating your own thickness by mixing two different grades.

I do too, but just wanted to expand my options. Thank You TallPaul.
