It's tested with both gear and engine oil here. The results are not good, imho.

Dont use it unless you need it. I used the lucas oil stabilizer with good results on my old mustang. I was losing oil pressure at a stand still and it helped to thicken up the oil a bit. I ran 10w40, but I guess it needed more for that old of a motor. It needs rebuilt but it did the job. I definately would not run it in the winter though! That oil is way to thick lol.
