to be honest i dont know!!!!
all i knew was it smoked like if my car was ready to explode!!! and it smoked for 10 minutes straight, only on cold start up, and it smelled like oil..
but this stuff worked.. just poured it into the engine where the oil goes and it stopped it from smoking...

okay heres what it is..
it came out white and thick.. it turned blueish after awhile..
never smelled like coolant, always smelled like oil..
i usually check my oil every 250 miles..
before i used this i would always notice every 250 miles i would have to refill my engine with oil.. cause i was loosing oil..... now i still have a lot of oil!!!!
and i havent had that problem since...
thats why its been 2 months.. since i posted this.. just to make sure nothing was wrong with the car

more questions:
1- where do you usually park your car? in short periods? over night?
2- are you aware that oil consumption is normal being that it's a rotary?

1. i live in apartments i park it under my apartment.. its always under shade... but sometimes i park it outside.. it didnt smoke when i park it for short periods..
2. yes i am aware that oil consumption is normal for a rotary..
but this was insane oil consumption.. it would be full and 250 miles later
it was pretty much completely empty...

2- have your OMP checked
3- change your oil and get that **** out of your car. those things are meant to swell gaskets & seals that should be replaced to "fix" leaks. now i'm wondering which gaskets & seals you swelled that didn't need to be replaced

keep in mind that i'm not here to belittle you. as an automotive master technician & emissions specialist, "miracle juices" never work and cause more problems.

For the record Lucas Oil stabilizer is not meant to swell your seals. All it is is a very thick oil meant to slow the consumtion of oil through bad oil seals in a rotary or rings in a piston engine. All it does is makes your oil much more viscous. (or thicker/slicker)

Agreed. If you are running Lucas you may not want to rely on the omp lines to lube the rotors, it may be too thick. So if it were me I would partially premix to be safe.

Predicted phrase-
Oh god, what have I done?!
Now if your motor dies from oil starvation and not a bad seal that caused bad compression it will most likely kill your rotors and housings and e-shaft stationary gears and everything that uses oil as lube
