Read this about Lucas http://www.bobistheoilguy.com/images/lucas/lucas.htm

Holy bejesus, what the hell is that nasty lookin compound?

Why is it when u go to your local NAPA store they have that ,,test'' thing on the counter, it shows Lucas lubricating EVERYTHING while regular oil does not and why is it that every mechanic reccomends it? What are you guys reccomend, just plain oil without anything else?


This really scares me..

Thats what I said when I saw it, the difference is the thing on the counter doesn't go fast enough to do that, BUT the engine does.

Look at it this way, Exxon, Shell, Mobil etc all have billions to spend on research, they are 50 times the size of Lucas oil, they put ENOUGH additves in the oil now, $30 for a gallon of Lucas is only making Mr Lucas rich, it doesn't do much for you or your engine.

Just my opinion, based on 30 years of NOT using additves AND never doing an inframe on any of my trucks, all went over 1 million miles and 1 is still running today with 1.4 million.

Just plain oil 8) 8)

That is because that little "test" thing on the counter contains PURE Lucas - not a Lucas/oil mix.

That, and the little hand crank doesn't turn the gears fast enough to froth it up.

And i though the guy gave me a deal so i purchased 5 gallons for 75 three days ago..

i guess ill never go at it again..

I saved that link and e-mailed some of my friends that have been using it for quite a while.....god darn..
