Lucas Oil stablizer
Is lucas oil stabilizer as good as they claim, 100% petroleum based ?
I do use it, and only at a 10% ratio. it really does hang to sufaces.
cause when I empty my drain pan I leave it proped up so it drains into a holding barrel, it stays like that till my next oil change.
but anyway there's always a light oily film in my drain pan.
the film was'nt there before I started using lucas so it must be the lucas oil product.
Since I've been using it for a couple three years now, I add it in small ratios to all my petroleum based fluids'
tranny fluid
power steering
differencials
tranfer case
it really seems to do the job

There are a lot of guys on this forum that will call it snake oil. I use it and I can definetely tell a diiference. My engine runs smoother and it has helped with cold starts. Lucas Oil is a very credible company. If it works for you as it does for me than don't worry about it.

i learned the hard way with lucas and my tranny... save your self the trouble and put it in last.
i thought i'd go ahead and put it in first and let it work its way down the fill tube while i was doing other maintence on the truck... to make a long story short, it clings alright. it clung on the inside of my funnel and all the way down the fill tube. it took me about an hour to get that stuff down. then i got to put the atf in..... had to guess how full the tranny was ( the dipstick was reading waaay high b/c the lucas plugging the tube)
i know the directions say put it in a warm tranny, but i'm a guy.... what do i know about following directions.
next time i might warm the stuff up on the microwave... i bet that would make it go in quicker. (wife might not be so thrilled though)

Nuked Lucas
LMOA, Brain_Puff , I showed your reply to my wife and she
said "Yeah , I can remeber somebody else doing the same thing to my micro-wave, and ruining a good measuring cup at the same
time" take a guess who she was talking about?
Even in the micro wave it takes along time to thin that stuff out.
If I were you I'd wait till she was'nt around. and if you use one of her measuring cups, I'd buy her a replacement one first.
