Anything that says this is scarey.....
"Use Lucas Oil Stabilizer in gear oil to stop leaks, reduce operating temperatures and increase the life of the gear oil. Since it is pure petroleum, it can safely blend with all other automotive lubricants, even synthetics."

i use lucas oil religiously, and i also put it in my manual trans, transfer case, and differential. the oil stays fresh longer, with clean filters of course. also their brand of power steering works very well as does the tranny fluid. i found out about it cuz i'm a trucker and theres guys with over 1,000,000 miles (yes thats a million) on heavy duty diesel engines without a rebuild, who maintain with lucas. in a pickup if u use 4 quarts of what ur supposed to and a quart of lucas it should extend ur drain interval, but have enuff of the thin grade for cold starts. my humble opinion anyway

i dont quite get this bob oil guys study. a engine has a oil pump and gets guite hot and has ventilation unlike that test box thing. my oil has never come out foamy like his did. another thing i noticed when i went to a top fuel drag race most teams used lucas oil. over 6000 hp and a 1/4 mile in under 5 seconds they have no room for foamy oil or any other imperfection

I changed my differential lube in my truck at 61,000 miles and it came out frothy with bubbles. It was factory fill dino. Replaced with Amsoil 80W-90 gearlube and it feels smoother already. Fill for life too under normal operation.

I don't care for that bobistheoilguy site. He's nothing but an Amsoil preacher looking to squash any compition. I use Lucas in my old Plymouth with a 3.0 that has 157k on it to quiet the clacking lifters. 1 quart lucas to 3.5 quarts oil. I've used it maybe 4 years now and no problems. Would I use it in a newer engine? No, I'd use synthetic oils. Would I use it in a noisy worn one that leaks dino oil out all over? Yes.

keith thats what i think of that oil guy website too. my p.o.s-10 (my other pickup) has 225,000 miles on its 4.3 v-6 and doesnt burn oil and the gaskets dont leak, and its been thru hell and back. i intend on maintaining my 360 c.i.d. ford the same way and it will probably fall out of the rusting frame still running 30 years from now

It was awhile back but I saw that bobistheoilguy site from another forum and I remember reading about him having some sort of trouble. He got banned from some forum and was threatened with legal action. I forget the specifics of it but regardless I don't take that site serious at all. Sure Amsoil is a good product but that guy just goes out of his way to over glorify it and bash everything else. I've used the heavy duty oil stabilizer and fuel system treatment with positive results. I don't intend on using the oil stabilizer in my F-150 I recently bought just because I don't see the need for it. It has 91k and I plan to use Mobil 1 5w-30 year round in it.

I find that when I'm in the parts stores, I can turn the display's with the lucas in it fast enough to turn the oil into a big blob of foam. I find it hard to believe that that wouldn't happen in a crankcase.
When I try that on the other side with the normal oil in it, all I can get is a few bubbles migrating through it. No big blob of foam.
I always leave it like that just to push the buttons of the doofuses behind the cash registers.
