Lucas in trans and rear ??
I'm not sure if I asked this before or not, but ifI did, I don't remember the outcome so I'm asking again.
Are you guy's, or do you guy's reccomend using Lucas in the trans and rear diffs?
I just got my new trans and rear covers and I'm going to be installing them hopefully this weekend. My friend swears by using Lucas, butI wanted to run it by you guy's first. Also, what types of trans fluid and rear oil are you using?

I have the MagHytec Double Deep Trans pan and rear diff cover on my 06. I run Amsoil 75W-90 in the rear and the AmsoilATF in the trans. I have the front diff cover sittingin my garage and will be putting it on next time I service the front diff.
The MagHytecproducts are great and I amvery happy with Amsoil too. The only downside is the added costservicing the trans and diff because of theextra fluid the MagHytecholds.

I remember reading and i saw a video clip that it made the oil really foamy and added alot of air to the oil. but i could be wrong. As far as what to use i would go amsoil all the way! Thats what i am going to use here in a few months!!

It may have worked with the oils of yesterday, but today'slubes are head and shoulders better than those.
If you're using quality lubes, I wouldn't mess with the formula too much.

I definitely can't say from experience, but I saw that video as well and that was enough to shy me away from using the Lucas in my truck.

Yeah, I hear ya, but then I keep thinking that if it was some sort of "snake oil" or whatever, you wouldn't see it everywhere at all of these racetracks and so forth. When you go to a race, you see Lucas EVERYWHERE !! If it was junk, you'd think these racers wouldn't let it in.

Plus, a lot of the folks that are using Lucas products are using the actual oil, not the additives.
Like I said, I can't say from experience, but I know I've never had a problem on well maintained vehicle that was related to a lubricant that was at the proper level and drain intervals. Just my .02, I guess.
