As mentioned if you want to try and stretch it out, the only way to know for sure if it's still doing it's job is to have it analyzed by a lab (thats how I found out Amsoil wouldn't go 8k in my daily driver).

Now for the dangerous part.... haha

I've never used the the synthetic stabilizer, but I know the regular oil stabilizer I've had problems with in motors that didn't have lots of miles. It's just too thick for them. Now in worn motors I've lots of luck with it. In my Jeep before I rebuilt it, it bought me some time. It works great in differentials, transmissions, and transfer cases, but that's just my what I think.

Personally, I'm just using Mobil 1 as is in my Z.

On a side note, the Lucas Gun oil is pretty good stuff, especially for being cheap, if you find that in store with the Lucas stuff.

the syn oil stab is very thin, nothing like the conventional oil stab... that stuff is like liquid gum

Interesting, good to know. I hadn't tried it strictly because I always assumed it was the same as the regular oil stabilzer. I still use the regular stuff for certain applications, just not in motors.
