.....ok, if it works so well
then, you go first and let us know!
........i thought that i provided the bare minimum for a person to understand the post....more simply; what additive other then oil will thicken my oil?.......that's it.....didn't and still don't see the need to post irrelevant information to bolster my request....

OK.
First off I would not put Lucas stablizer or anything Lucas makes in my car.
You may want to go to www.bobistheoilguy.com
Look at the oil additives section.
Most tests done by engineers.
Best advice I can give you my man.

I never said it worked so well. I am smarter than to try to thicken oil. Rudely, offering no explanation as to what you want to accomplish or why, I offered a suggestion that meets the nonexistent requirements you laid out. No additive or oil product will thicken your oil. Any additive will only increase the thickness of the oil by the average of the thicknesses of the oil and the additive, by volume. You may be able to find a chemical that will make oil gel. Otherwise, to answer your question, I think the corn starch or maybe some Portland cement will best, thicken your oil.

!......what requirements?...i asked what would "bla bla bla" and all i got was an interrogation for what was supposed to be a simple name of an oil additive!...being direct and to the point is NOT being rude, just efficient!.....you can try the corn starch or the portland cement, as for me, i will stick with my chemist relative....

I just want to make one thing clear.
And this is why I reposted an edited version of my original post.
I meant to say i would NOT put anything Lucas makes in my car.
My internet connection dropped when I was editing and I tried again ending up in a double post.
Sorry.

....sometimes i think that some members simply post to raise their "star-counts" .... however, i asked a simple question that involves a return of a simple answer and it usually never happens....

stearic, oleic, palmitic, coconut oil acids, napthenic acids will gel the oil.
How thick do you want it to get?

How inane can one get??? Ask a question, not only with no parameters, but berating people that ask for some, so that they can provide better help, and THEN, have the Gaul to criticize the answers. If you have better sources of information, why are you wasting our time.

so whats wrong with stp? if all you want to do is increase the viscosity, stp oil treatment will do that and that is all it will do so will motor honey rule out the products designed to be introduced into an engine and youll be getting into the realm of karo syrup portland cement and sawdust

You are forbidden to interrogate the Da Mail Man. Use caution, he'll go postal on you.

.....i DID NOT necessarily criticize the answers, only tried to keep the "responders" on track as to what i was asking (A PRODUCT NAME!)...but, a few weren't happy with that!....
...when the childish and immature frustrations escalated, that's when YOU jumped in to stir the pot!...you have a habit of doing that for some sort of sick kick that you get..... there are many many posts that reflect that clearly, including those that once got you branded as a trouble-maker and got you kicked off of this forum to the relief of many and equally to the dismay of a few.....that act of "termination " DOES go a long way in demonstrating your demeanor on the forum!...
...when the dialog began to get a bit nasty, i decided to close my involvement with the question and instead of asking on the forum or accepting additional comments for consideration, decided to seek a more knowledgeable source. so, that is not wasting your or anyone else's time unless they keep responding to the question and stirring things up like you do (see previous statement)....
...if a person keeps responding, then, who's making them do it?.surely not me!...they have a right to cease and desist at anytime so, i am NOT responsible!....

BG RF-7
BG RF-7 is a specially developed formula for engine oil which helps increase engine compression and power by increasing the viscosity of the oil. It also helps seal rings to increase compression and reduce blow-by. BG RF-7 contains additives which keep the engine oil from oxidizing or thickening, and it protects internal parts from corrosive damage. It will help reduce oil consumption and exhaust smoke and will reduce lifter and valve noise. BG RF-7 is compatible with both synthetic and petroleum-base oils.
