i was reading a page here that mentioned lucas oils. at my auto parts store, there is a display with crankable gears showing how the oil flows nicely in the gear teeth. just wondering if anyone used this oil in their trans and how they liked it.

 

i see that they produce synthetic gear lubes and i'm just thinking about how the lucas oil could be different from another synthetic gear oil.

 

I would ALSO like to know what a good brand of TRANMISSION fluid would be.


I am Replacing all fluids in my RX-7 and would like a good Rundown on all types...


Transmission
Brake
Radiator

any and all would be MUCH appreciated.

 

I use Lucas in my trans and engine! Runs smooth. and brings my oil pressure up a few psi about 5. I use about 20% Lucas.

 

huh. so you use it as an additive to your engine oil? i had originally thought that it was just an additive, but they also sell straight gear lube too.

crazy roller,

i use peak antifreeze. the stuff is cheap and i can get it in bulk at sam's club. it seems to be doing the job and it runs 1/4 way across the gauge. i had some ford dot-3 brake fluid, so that is what i used in the rx-7. that too works great. transmission uses amsoil synthetic and engine uses amsoil synthetic. works great.

 

alright sounds good to me,

thanks for the response

(most people neglect my posts)

 

Stay away from DOT3, use DOT4! DOT3 attracts water and DOT4 does NOT attract water.

 

I used Lucas in my old Maxima. It was making some valve and or lifter noise when cold and the oil pressure was a little low. Worked perfect, great stuff. Never thought of using in my 7 though. Guess that is why I check out the forum/

 

I use about %10 Lucas Oil Stabilizer when I do oil changes, plus I toss in a bottle of MMO.

I also use Lucas Fuel System Cleaner at least ever 3rd or 4th fillup, and my engine is happy as hell
