Thanks!
So it basically thickens the oil (a VM), yes? How's this different from a Lucas or STP?
And I don't believe LG BioTech is VM, it's a FM.. right? So it's kinda apples and oranges..
Hyperlube Zinc Replacement additive is a "polymer ester" an AW ester that can replace ZDDP or improve AW capabilities in low ZDDP engine oils.
It does not thicken the oil.
ILI's Bio-Tech contains an ester and additives but that ester is entirely different than the one contained in Hyperlube Zinc Replacement additive.
Neither one should needed in a clean, well functioning engine.
