Why wait, if you don't like the ticking change the oil. I do mine at 5000 KM's or the most we have gone was 4 months only because we only had 1500 km's on the oil and it was clean still so at 4 months it had 2200 and was brown, still could have waited but I can't wrap my mind around this watery oil lasting longer than 5w30..back in the day I used 10w 40 in summer and 10 30 in winter that was just it. Now a high performance engine with water or oil, I was told no additives to the engine oil not a good plan, does not work well with the MDS . Now if it is thin like the oil is why not? I would not put a can of that stuff that is like honey at 90 degrees and like cement in the winter. Is Lucas the one Carroll Shelby endorses and soaks into the metal? I so I bet that one would be fine, in fact I am considering it myself.

I agree with ya'll on adding anything to my oil. I do however, use the Lucas gas stabilizer in my 1970 Grand Wagoneer (4WD, Warn Hubs, Buick 350 with a Turbo 400), my chainsaws and law-movers. I live in the city but have a place in the woods and things sit around so I like to add the gas stabilizer. I've never had any problems with it. Since 3 months or more go by between visits sometimes, I add the stabilizer. Maybe I'm throwing good money away but it seems to work for me

i used Lucus in my 96 Sunfire i had...had a slight wrappin sound at 135K....used Lucus every oil change. i sold the car at 197K, and she was still running like a top, and the wrap began to go away after a few oil changes.....
Ive used it in my RAM...and i didnt notice any difference, aside from oil psi going up by about 5 psi....
Ill use it, just for the fact that its never hurt my motor.
Restore: Engine Treatment did the best for my PSI, but i wouldnt use that vey oil change....seems kinda chunky, and i have the feeling that some of the compounds in the Restore could scratch the cylinder walls....just my .02 cents
