Lucas Oil Additive, anyone tried on rotary?

I am the type that does not like to put any additives in my oil, I run 15/40 and it seems to work wonders on my oil pressure and my car runs great and barely burns oil. I have heard this lucas additive does wonders on piston engines. I have left several messages for the tech guys at lucas but they have not returned my messages.

Anyone tried this additive before on their TIIs?
I bought the car with 166K miles on it, however I can see tags on the engine that suggest its been rebuilt and it runs great. I assume its been rebuilt at the most 60K miles ago.

Heard of it, seen it, had it in my hand at the parts store, decided against buying it, wanted feedback from everyone here. So I dont know if it works on rotaries or not.

Does anyone know?

Lucas makes extremely good products, some of the best stuff in the world if you ask me. Their power-steering stuff works phenominal, as well as the tranny fluid and even the FI cleaner is very good. I have nothing but good things to say about Lucas products, they are awesome ! However...I will be reluctant to add any kind of oil additive to a rotary, just my opinion.

I added it to my 1/4 capacity to tranny and 1/2 capacity in differential. I can see some difference in them but I havent put any in the motor yet.

I am running it in my motor right now...Seems to work pretty good, but its making my oil pressure a little too high. After a good redline pull, my pressure is usually nipping the 110 psi mark.

I use it in my tranny, but only because my synchros are very worn. It did a pretty good job of quieting it down. That stuff is VERY thick. It was much thicker than the 75W 90 tranny fluid I put in with it last time. I have never tried it in a motor, and I dont think I would in a n/a. A TII might benefit from the high viscosity.

How long have you used it? Do you have a TII?
