Restore? Lucas Oil stableizer?

Wondering if any of you guys have used these type of products? I have a 110k on the motor and didn't know if I should try any oil additives or similar products. I've searched and haven't really found too much, looking for any input.

Not a one of those type of products is a good thing.

The only thing that goes where oil goes is oil. if there is nothing wrong with the car now why risk by putting some stuff in there, just cause it has 110k doesn't mean you need to start putting different things than normal into the engine.

I have also seen the thing danhr said about how it foamed the oil.

I've been using Lucas oil stabilizer with red-line 15w-50 oil. So far, I have had good results. I understand the concerns of others, but have not seen much (if any) foaming. I had leaks @ the front of the oil pan gasket and the rear main seal. I've changed each twice. It has helped alot. My opinion and hope this helps. (97ss - 383-D1)

If there truly was any benefit to this stuff, I'd imagine companies like Mobil would have been all over it.
