Default Anyone Try Lucas Oil Products?

Lucas heavy duty oil stabilizer= 100% petroleum eliminates dry starts and resists thermal breakdown for total protection in new engines. Blends with all petroleum and synthetic oil.
They also have heavy duty plus gear oil in 85/140, 80/90 and 75/90 synthetic hypoid gear oil for differential. They have an extra additive call oil stabillizer in their oil, which they claim that it will provide constant oil film on the moving parts.

Lucas Oil is questionable.....

The claims of some of their products are highly questionable and the same claims made by other manufacturers on their products have resulted in FTC investigations and fines.

I wouldn't trust anything they say without and independent third party analysis....

Lucas oil is another oil company made up of little more than a marketing department. Lucas, Neo, and Royal Purple are all oil companies on my black list. They all rank up there with Slick 50 and Duralube for being little more than snake oil peddlers

Before you use any Lucas products, you may want to read this:

Notice that not only does the Lucas Oil Stabilizer froth up, but the Lucas added to the oil does the same thing. Air bubbles make a lousy lubricant.

Thanks for the info! Thank god, i didn't buy this today. The guy at the speedshop try to sell me Lucas oil stabilizer. He said it would offer the ultimate protection with my Red line engine oil. Big for the S2ki forums!!

I would like to see the additive in the schaffers oil. Without that, this demo is little more than an add for Schaffers! However, very informative.
