<div>My dad, one of the engineers responsible for the Buick/Rover 3.5 taught
me that if you start with a quality motor oil, there is no need for any
additives. Disagree if you wish, but I have stuck with that advice.</div>

Oil Stabilisator <br><br><br>It may have allowed your oil to aerate so your
pump was trying to move oil with air bubbles in it. It apparently has no
anti-foaming additives, so when you add it to your oil, you are diluting the
additives in the regular oil. There was an article on the <a href="http://bobistheoilguy.com">bobistheoilguy.com</a> website some years
back that showed in graphic detail what happens with this additive whether
it’s used in a gearbox or an engine. Unfortunately I can only find an
archived version of this article and the photos are no longer visible.
The photos I remember showed the oil turning a much lighter color after
it had been thoroughly agitated, which meant it was filled with air bubbles.
Air compresses, so I can see a connection between aerated oil and a drop
in oil pressure.
