I've been bouncing around the idea of how to improve NOAK by purchasing off-the-shelf products, with and two have come to mind/ can't seem to find answers on here:
1. Is NOAK for monograde oils generally lower than multigrades?
2. [considering STP synthetic oil treatment is in a large part just high viscosity Group III with minor additive additions] could [this] STP gold bottle be added to reduce NOAK?
Both of these are based on the question/idea that base oil is more resistant to burn-off than VII/"plastics" and various other ingredients put into blends, and more so with PAO/GTL/Gr3. Is this wrong?
Also note: I totally understand I could look up NOAK numbers on multigrades, but that's not really what this is about: I want to understand more.
