How many remember the oil additive STP? It was a thick honey-like liquid used to prevent engines from excessive wear and burning oil, especially old worn-out engines. I'm not sure if it is still on the market anymore and probably not recommended for these newer engines.
My dad bought this stuff by the gallons. He had an old 1940's vintage used White truck (White was the brand name, not the color) used to pull a low bed trailer for transporting equipment. This truck had a big 6 cylinder gas engine, 5-speed main transmission with a secondary 3-speed gearbox for a total of 15 spends forward. This truck went through a lot of motor oil and my dad would pour an entire gallon of STP in it at times.
Yes, I remember getting STP stickers as a kid and putting them up on my wall. I had no idea what it was, just saw them on race cars so thought it must be cool. :)
