In high school I worked at service station, yes a service station.
Got all hooked up on STP.
Sold the crap out of it using the screw driver trick
The old screw drive trick.
Dip the blade in STP try to hold the screw driver between thumb and forefinger by the blade.
I owned at 54 Chevy smoked like crazy added STP.
Worked
When I rebuilt the 235 found gobs and gobs of STP under the valve cover.
Emery I agree with you don't add this snake oil to your engines.

Used car salesmen love it because it will hide leaking rings and cut out a lot of smoke at the tailpipe as well as quiet down a valve train.
