Has anyone tried any oil additives such as Lucas oil stabilizer along with 5w20 Rotella T in a 5.4?

 

I have never seen the need for any oil additive in any engine I've had over the years with a good quality oil and changing oil within the required interval. I just make sure that the oil meets or exceeds OEM requirements.

 

I used to buy into the Lucas stabilizer really heavily. I think it's a great product for vehicles that burn alot of oil or with a lot of miles, especially in Big Rig's. W use it where I work in ours and see great results. From my personal experience using it in my F150 for a couple of oil change intervals I could not tell a difference, and the last interval I experienced the dip stick showing about half a quart overfull along with smoking in cold weather. Alot of people will tell you to that if additives were so good, oil manufacturers would already at it to their product. I would personally recommend a good synthetic 5w 20 like Mobil 1 or Castrol.

 

I change the oil at every 5000 kms,should be fine
.Thanks

 

Oil Additives have there advantage in larger engines and colder climates but if you have longer seasons and not always extreme winters then I feel they are not as useful.
