I have no experience with any 'oil stabilizers'... is it tacky OP???

from my experience Hy-per Lube Oil Supplement, formulated in the 1950's, it's very tacky from petroleum derived polymer tactifiers I think... currently only using it to lube my Craftsman hand rachets

Forrest Lucas got rich from thanks in part to his little hand cranked display with gears at auto part stores back in the day

watch Car Wizard of Hoovie's Garage dump a quart of Lucas Synthetic Oil Stabilizer in a Bentley

Ok, so it contain two Anti-oxidants (which modern motor oils contain), ZDDP (which modern motor oils contain), MoDTC (which modern motor oils contain), and a mixture of refined base oils (which modern motor oils contain).

So what's the big deal?

It's foam, collected at the sea?

Seems to me a bottle of STP blue does pretty much the same and for cheaper. 🤔

Seems like really thin oil to me....I had 100 dollar az gift certificate so I blew 16.99 on this seafoam because I like trying new oil products by a reputable company. . Wont hurt my 05 cavalier and might help, mixed it with supertech synthetic...cav has 117k and engine is smooth but I baby it with 4k ocis. Only problem is yellow moisture in cold nh winters ...I expect motor and tran to go another 100k if I keep it that long.

the placebo effect has been proven effect

Sea Foam executives are all comissioning new yachts!

 

[discountdon]

what really bugs me is the SDS Seafoam Sales emailed me in .pdf format: "Seafoam Synthetic Oil Treatment OS32" and not 'Seafoam Ultimate Oil Stabilizer Full Synthetic' as LABELED on the shelves...

well... I guess the "OS32" stands for 'Oil Stabilizer 32oz'

This product is also not on the manufacturer's website either, why the hush-hush if it's just simply an Autozone exclusive???

does it have have tactifying qualities OP? meaning is it tacky between your fingers? thanks...

 

[Chesterr]

Not tacky

 

[talest]

They also have actual SeaFoam in a larger can, too.

Stands that much more a chance of having someone mess up their engine.

I'm going to Buy it along with a can of seafoam. See if they are different. My snowblower likes seafoam So does the lawn tractor.
