"it's not another Dick50 type of product." Absolutely not, we had half a mil delivery vehicles at my old mans parts store/machine shop. When it came time for a rebuild they were so clean, we didn't even have to dip the blocks. Like I said though, new Dino is way better than those days.

That's one additive that has been around longer than I have.
I remember my dad using it when I was in grade school.
I see several posts knocking STP.
I used it for for several years, mainly in flat head Fords on dirt tracks and Corvairs.
Never had an engine failure with it. I always poured in a warm idling engine per the directions and never found a glob of it in the pan at tear down time as some people stated.
We even tried to blow up a flat head the last year we ran them. The last big race of the season (labor day) oil pressure dropped from 80 to 40 lbs. and I put 2 cans of STP in it and ran for 5 or 6 more weeks without changing oil and the damn never blew or lost power.
Just an old memory.

Good point! In those days my motors were turning 3000 RPM or more most of the time and the clearances were greater than now days and oils are much improved. I haven't used STP in years. I still think it did good at that time.
