I have a vendetta against additives - especially in engine oil, adding something to a specific blend of oil (with the right mix of detergents/etc) can throw the balance off and work against you - also saw an article where someone tried churning oil.. identical oil, but with the lucas additive foamed right up compared to the stock oil, which stayed mostly as it should... |

I use Valvoline max life 5w-30 on mine and I add Lucas stabilizer once a year during the summer(it makes the oil thicker and in the winter the valves tick from it). So I would wait until it gets warmer out. But it did help my motor run better and smoother. I currently have 105,000 on mine. |

in my expirience lucas works wonders for transmissions, what i like to do is add lucas to the tranny while i change the oil and filter, then 30 days later change the oil and filter again but without adding lucas. lucas is not meant to hold up as long as ATF |

yeah, ditto, if your having problems with the motor, a brand called motor honey will work wonders but its thick, i'd only do this with a high mileage motor that doesn't have long before a rebuild, like maybe one with leaky heads
