My brother in law is a chemist at Lucas oil in California. He personally knows the owner of the company. My brother in law formulates the racing oil for a prominent Nascar Racing Team located in Welcome North Carolina. Even he says that some of the Lucas products are snake oil, which includes the oil stabilizer. He once asked the owner why he sells the stuff, his reply was because they make a lot of money. If you have the right oil adding additives will only make it worse not better. Just because you have used it for years and your engines didn't blow up is not scientific evidence that it did anything positive to improve engine life or performance. Fuel additives for the most part do help to clean fuel injectors.

Many years ago I bought a 67 GTO, back in 1973. The oil changes had been neglected and there was sludge built up under the valve covers. So following the instructions exactly I added a can of Risolene engine flush. Then changed the oil and filter. The next time I got on it hard through the gears it developed a rod knock. I had sludge but then I needed a new engine. Better to have sludge. Don't use this stuff just change the oil.
