Oil Stabilizer
I know entire libraries have been written on which oil is best for the G37,but what is everyone's opinion on 'oil stabilizer'?
I watched a program on the Speed channel which tested oil stabilizer vs straight oil in a friction test. Weights were added to a spinning cam until it seized from friction,first with just oil,and then with stabilized oil.(can't remember if it was synthetic)
The stabilized oil took 6X the weight before the spinning cam seized up.(compared to just straight oil)
Will adding stabilizer void the warranty?
Anyone have any experience with this product?
Thanks for your input (or link)

From the owner's manual:
While it doesn't say it will void your warranty if you have any problems they could point to it. I'm not sure why you would think it's really necessary.
Oil additives
INFINITI does not recommend the use of oil
additives. The use of an oil additive is not
necessary when the proper oil type is used and
maintenance intervals are followed.additives. The use of an oil additive is not

The test was performed by the host of speed channel.It simply demonstrated that adding an oil stabilizer to the oil (about 8 ounces per oil change),it greatly reduces the amount of friction between metal parts. A spinning bearing with and oil supply added was then subject to increasing metal weights until the bearing stopped spinning.The test showed that 6X the weight could be added after an oil stabilizer was added.
The only oil stabilizer I have seen is made by Lucas,but anyone out there tried this or other product?
I would consider this product if it eliminates the start up valve train noise.

About the only thing I've seen those 2 recommend in the way of additives are:
Lube Control & Schaeffer's 132 oil additives
Fuel Power & Schaeffer's Neutra gasoline additives
Auto-RX clean & rinse every 30K-50K miles

Years ago when working in a gas station part time, a salesman came in and wanted to show off his stabilizer when added to regular oil. He was correct the needle went higher, as it happened I had a coke in my hand and added some to the mix. Guess what the reading went even higher. Never saw him again. Coke in the oil don't think so.

Use superior oil and get superior results. Oil chemistry is very complex. Mixing two
products and hoping for a better and superior result is like flying to Africa to bow-hunt
mice at night.....it's time consuming, expensive and pointless....but you can say
you've done it.
