At my local Sams in the aisle with all the car stuff next to the various engine oils they sell by the box I saw this:

Has anyone tried or theoretically proved or disproved the use of this? I know I see the 100w.

That's not the same as conventional oil. Only General Aviation uses ashless dispersant and mineral oil.
