My company has issued me a car for business, so my SS is now in semi-retirement, as I am probably going to keep it for strictly pleasure use. I'm in the northeast where roads are sometimes salted in the winter, so I limit the use of the SS to only fair days when roads are clean.

Although exercised at least once a month, the mileage is now limited and the fuel may be in the tank longer than it used to be. I have used Sta-bil in my other vintage and collectible vehicles without incident, but in comparison to the SS' sensor laden power plant, the older vehicles are quite simple.

Has anyone had issues with using properly proportioned Sta-bil mixtures with the LNF engine? I only run premium grade fuel from major suppliers. From what I gather from the group, the LNF might throw codes at the slightest "sniffle", so I'm somewhat hesitant to use any fuel additives.

Thanks in advance...

 

all the sensors are in the non fuel areas...only thing fuel sees is pump, regulator, press sensors ( non fuel contact) and injectors..wont be a problem. Model is 6 years old now and believe we would have heard something by now.

 

Generally all the things like Sta Bil and Marvel Mystery oil are all sensor safe. You can confirm this on their web site as many will will post this kind of info. Marvel does.

When doing additives it is not just the pre ignition side you need to worry about but you need to know if the burned and unburned fuel will effect the O2 senors and or the Converter. Some things as simple as thread locker on a O2 sensor or a anti freeze gasket leak can kill a converter or sensor.

 

Been using stabil green for years in my ss..no problem.

 

I would use startron over stabil.

Use to use stabil but with startron my old and new race and cruiser cars start perfectley
While in storage and ehen they come out.
Google startron
Walmarts sell it in the boat accessories section in central ny

 

I have used the regular red stabil for winter storage of my ss with no problems. My car usually sits for 3&1/2 to 4 months without being started with stabile in the tank. I make sure the tank is completely full and drive enough for the stabile to make its way through the whole system then park.

perhaps you could keep the fuel level lower, so when you do use it, you can add a bit of fresh fuel to keep that part in check.

I prefer SeaFoam to Sta-Bil, but thats me..

 

I use Seafoam in all my HHR, Corvette, lawn mower, trimmer, everything. It's a great multi-purpose liquid. It comes highly recommended from the mechanics that I have dealt with over the years.
