It’s always a drag to grab the wrong product—especially if you don’t find out until after you’ve already used it. If you’re looking to thicken your engine’s oil, there are some aftermarket additives you can mix in that help.
Products like STP Oil Treatment, Castile Motor Honey, and Lucas Hub Oil (among others) can increase your oil’s viscosity, usually by about 10 points. This helps reduce friction in your engine, potentially stops any leakage, and protects against wear and tear.
