STP is a viscosity boost. That' all it is. It will turn a any oild grade (like 10W30) into a much higher viscosity depending on how much you add to a given quantity of oil.

The general information I see from those who test oil is that it only has a benefit in really old engines that burn oil and should actually be rebuilt.
