Default lucas oil

Does anyone use the Lucas oil stabilizer in their car? If so, notice any differences?

Go here for info about Lucas Oil Products:http://www.bobistheoilguy.com/

Most people in the know do not really recommend it. For what reasons do you need it?

There's a display for that crap up at the local Pep Boys with two vertical sets of gears sitting in oil. The gears are attatched to little finger cranks you use to spin them, thus illustrating that the set with the treated oil actually sticks to the gears as it climbs to the top, while the untreated oil seems to have much lower film strength and does not coat the gears as well.

Funny thing is though, the set with the untreated oil is noticably easier to turn.

Look at these pictures of the wear the Lucas caused and you will really not want to use it. http://theoildrop.server101.com/ubb/...=000508#000000

Quality oil is all that is needed for engines.

I just ordered 8 cases of 10w30 Shaeffer's yesterday.
