Car Forum / Antique and Collectibles / Studebaker / January 2007Talk about spreading rumors....!
I don't know if any of you subscribe to the alt.autos newsgroup, but here's a response to a question, posed from a guy about adding STP to a high mileage engine (1995 Corolla engine - l_google_l at 1/26/07 11:50 AM) --------------------------- STP is a Studebaker Corp product that was developed for the Studebaker cars. STP is short for 'stop that ping'. Studebaker engines did not have the piston wrist pins offset to counteract piston slap. STP was the 'glue' that attempted to silence the ping sound. If your looking for better lubrication, then buy a better lubricant. Try to stay away from oil additives AKA mouse milk. And definately stay away from STP branded antifreeze. The stuff according to the STP people is not antifreeze but some other goofy product that allegedly acts like antifreeze. If you have a problem with their products, you'll get the standard response of " you did it wrong and we got your money so f.ck off".

The guy probably couldn't tell valve clatter from piston slap... (or a fuel pump knock, but that's another issue...) nate  Signaturereplace "fly" with "com" to reply. http://home.comcast.net/~njnagel "STP is a Studebaker Corp product that was developed for the Studebaker cars".
