Oil stabilizer question

Has anyone ever used Oil Stabilizer? If so, does it work? I saw an ad for Lucas Oil Stabilizer and thought I might try it.
It would be going in my 1979 F-350 that has a 400.

I didn't know the oil was unstable as it is.

Read through the other Lucas threads in the oil forum. Plenty of information to be had in those.

its been argued about extensively on here. i use it on a pickup that has over 225000 miles on it and it seems to extend the drain interval and keep the gaskets from seeping and keep oil pressure up, and reduce engine noise. could u get the same results by using 20w50 or fleet 15w40 oils? probably. personal preference i suppose, but a lot of people get good results with it on older high mileage engines.

There's an article on Bobistheoilguy.com about Lucas products. You may want to read that before buying.

There's also another thread going on this subject.

IMO, oil additives in general are, at best, a waste of money.
