so i was in cdn tire the other day and saw that lucas oil stabalizer was on sale.figured i would give it a try.damn stuff is really thick but put it in anyway.started my engine up and was horrified by the sound coming from my engine.i assume it was the lifters bangin away for the 20 seconds it lasted.noise went away after that.let truck warm up a little and all was good.early the next morning i started engine and once again things were really noisy for a few seconds.let engine run till normal temp then dumped that **** out.how can people sell this crap?i cant beleive i actually tried it.live and learn i guess.just wanted to warn others thinking about using it.read up on it at bobistheoilguy and found it was like sae 80 oil with lots of detergent in it.

 

usually it quiets lifters, i have used it with 0 problems. detergent is good it keeps everything clean.

 

i've used lucas oil additive for quite a long time now and its only made my engine better. i've never had any problems with it.

 

glad you guys didn't have trouble.didn't work for me.

 

you didnt fill the engine with lucas alone i hope

 

I had a 2001 explorer 5.0 with a lifter tick or something, I threw a quart of that stuff in with an oil chance and I never heard the noise again. I was considering on adding it to my 4.7 Durango but I don't know how well the stuff will work with a full synthetic oil.

 

Yeah I also put it in my truck with no adverse effects. It actually raised my oil psi a little bit too

 

 

god no,i did'nt just fall of the boat today.lol

man even when i dumped the oil hot it was thick as hell.

 

I agree with "plott hound" . It's junk, just like STP. If you want to clean and keep it clean, use Rislone in place of a quart of oil every oil change.
