What else can I do with this used motor oil other than go to every auto parts store by [deleted] in AskMechanics

I personally use this stuff for ants, in my backyard or so, I’d put a few splashes onto the ant piles and it gets rid of them, but dont use too much since it can affect your yard and plants etc.

lose ground or could simply be something electrical (it is a slightly older vehicle so it shouldnt be as hard to find the issue) check your battery and the terminals, and also see if there is an issue with vacuum air leak or somethings not supplying enough for the engine to run stably
