has anyone tried using Lucas oil in their cars I was thinking about using the light weight version but I'm not sure if it would be too thick? Any good or bad experiences?

 

no one has tried it at all? it seems perfect for rotary's i guess ill have to try it out and tell u guys how it does i know it works great on all my n/a cars it makes them run so smooth.

 

I've used it. it seems to smooth things out. I've found it to work well with synthetic oil. pour it in with the car running and fully warmed up. then drive it for a few miles and thats it. I don't know of any side effects so engine builders reply.

It's bullshit, you couldn't pay me to pour that stuff in my engine.

 

wow never saw that before! thx alexdimen good info. I've talked to people who love this stuff and been using it for years without any problems.

NP. Any time you need to know whether an oil or additive is alright, just look around on the bitog forum.

The way I see it, if an oil needs an additive, then you need another oil.

 

Lucas does make a synthetic engine oil now...

 

that test is a rig-
bollocks
the colour change is not just air, is emulsified air and oil and water
two drops of water, and of course the oil with the better emulsifiant will cream in colour
the sample with water and no emulsifiant will lake barrier till the water builds levels enough to provide NIL lube

UNemulsifed water in oil above 1% has been proven to HALVE roller bearing life between services
- that is well known to mech fitters

the other sample compared is even a different oil as to the test control!
that must ring alarm bells to the validity and even honesty of the poster

if its a valid test = same oil both sides, one with, one without , too simple
but the poster chose to confound you with words and pics that ARE NOT a control test
he makes a lot of statements, and no facts, just some slanted pics WITH NO CONTROL TEST

-
i use lucas/ moreys/ trublu in engine, oil and diff
my oil in the engine certainly lasts longer, and it clings to the dipstick
- long after normal oils have thinned to a water consistency
my diffs are quieter
my tired gearbox shifts AOK when warmed up
and is quieter and runs cooler to the touch than when it was without the additives

and my incidence at breaking diffs and gearboxes racing my rx2 in the past
- changed noticeably for the better

i build my own engines, assemble my own diffs
- all clean as a whistle inside

works for me, passed my REAL WORLD appraisal, AOK , result

 

hmmm ive always heard good stuff about lucas.

 

they sell a sh$$ load of this stuff. so I think if it caused problems people would have stopped using it years ago. Hey alexdimen send that web site to lucas I would love to here their side of the story.

I've considered selling horse crap to people as some kind of health food. It tastes bad, smells bad, I'll make sure it's expensive, and it won't hurt them. There, that's three reasons why it's doing something good for them. If I sell a lot of it, I can use testimonials from people who haven't died from it and that'll be four reasons.

Oh, wait this is about Lucas additive. Completely different, sorry.

I'd suggest re-reading the experiment and then looking around on the bitog forums because you've either just skimmed it over or have short term memory problems.

That website is well known as a great lubricant info resource and many forum members on there are oil industry veterans. I'm afraid I can't say the same for you. You're just some guy who thinks he felt a "change for the better".

 

Not the same, but close:

ive ran it in all my cars and had great results im going to try it next oil change and ill tell u how good it works i have faith that it will make a significant difference like it always does.

 

i do not own a 3rd gen but i do own a 1st gen with a 12A in it (it has 160k on the original 12A and still going strong). I have been using the Lucas Oil Synthetic Stabilizer for the past 2 years at every oil charge. I think she runs extremely smooth with it and i have not had ANY problems whatsoever. I actually had a Dowel pin leak before i started using the Lucas oil and after two oil changes with the stabilizer the dowel pin leak went away. After i saw that i was sold.


ok ill stop now i sound like a damn infomercial lol

 

You guys kill me... yeah, try it next oil change and tell us how smooth your engine runs with it.

Let me ask you lucas guys something. How many rotaries do you think are running this at the drag strip and road racing (not talking about your buddy, I'm talking about professionals)? Where does it recomend oil additives in the FSM? Why do you think the lubrication system needs any tweaks? What is this going to prevent from happening?

 

it will make the local 7-11 happier cause more beer will be bought due to late night engine rebuild partys

 

it was a simple question when was this forum made for people to not give advice and criticize and talk **** about someone trying to answer my question

 

Oh, stop crying. Since when are facts the same as criticism and **** talking?

We're trying to help you snake oilers out, go post your question on the bob is the oil guy forums and see what they have to say.

I'll ask the question again... What existing problem with the 13B lubrication system is this supposed to fix or alleviate?
