oil additives

[t120r]

Being a mechanic for my whole life I have used every type of snake oil there is. But considering how long the multi fuel takes to build up oil pressure I was wondering if anyone here has has used any additive.

I have put militec in my multi fuel so i know that at least there is some film on the crank journals. Most of the cranks that are 1965-1978 seem to be turned to .020 under. I have kept records over the years of m35a2 trucks with multifuels and have come up with this. Maybe it is just the military but i think not.

9 of 10 engines with 14,000 or less had 20 under cranks. That is awfull.
Has anyone tried lucas oil stabilizer yet?

just a thought and observation.

STP, STP, STP.
Works. I took an engine apart that had 3,000 since oil change, mains were oiled as well as the rods, plenty enough for the cushion.

I'm all-about Lucas products! The testimonies are hard to argue with. They sold me. Plenty of use and support throughout the trucking industry and NHRA.

Get jatonka's spin on oil filter adapters and you won't need weird snake oils for your truck, EVER.

Modify the oiling system. That is the only way to solve the problem.
