The reason I put in the A is because it is not a daily driver. Summer it probably gets started at most once a week, sometimes not for 2 or 3 weeks, and of course November till April it is put to sleep for the winter. SO, I thought the stickiness of the STP would cling to the bearings etc better when sitting. Maybe just oil stays good enough. I know some say STP is not a lubricant, but only a viscosity improver, but then why is it used by many as an assembly lube, which needs the best lube to prevent premature break in wear??
