I have used 25% Lucas Oil Additive in my 2001 7.3 diesel for over 300,000 miles. The truck currently has just over 400,000 miles. I recently had some repairs made to the truck and as part of the service the shop changed the oil. I knew when I picked it up that something was different. The engine was significantly louder to the point I could hear a couple of lifter clattering. When I got back to home base, I'm a full time RVer, I drained the oil and added a gallon of Lucas to 3 gallons of slightly used oil back to the truck. Sound dropped down to what I expected. I did have the oil tested and the primary concern from the lab was the increased viscosity of the oil. Since the 7.3 uses a high pressure oil pump for the hydraulic lifters I don't think the increased viscosity is that much of an issue. Well it hasn't been for the past 300,000 miles anyway. ;-)

[@Grayskull77]

That's right change the oil frequently, a mid range oil changed at 5000 is much better than an expensive one at 10000, and spray the bottom of your car every year with oil when dry in summer just to bulid up a layer of rust prevention. Plus bolts don't then seize up on you. Cheers

[@vikasshelke5544]

Expensive oils have better cleaning and lubrication properties in extreme conditions than mid range. Low quality oils break down or tear off easily that is their ability to form film of oil to avoid metal contact is lost when engine runs in hot conditions plus they shear much earlier.

[@thomasschroeder8166]

I’ve found the old high viscosity stabilizer works wonders for helping with dry starts in older diesel engines

[@tjhessmon4327]

Most modern cars are constructed with very tight machining tolerances, and can take advantage of lubricants that have a thinner film at both cold and hot engine temperatures. Modern oil viscosity at 100C is 8.9 cenistoke’s cSt. Anything 8 cSt or above till lubricate well The Lucas Heavy Duty oil stabilizer is 110 cSt @ 100C, that is going to cause your oil pump to move a diluted oil that is several times its operational design pressure. The designations on your oil container indicate two operational conditions (cold and 100C or hot) Therefore, a 5W30, will have the thickness of a 5 weight oil when it’s cold and a 20 weight oil when it’s hot. @ 40C (104F) it will have a viscosity of 60 cSt @ 100C (212F) operating temperature, it will have a viscosity of 9-12 cSt @ -30 ( -22F) it will have a viscosity of less than 6600 cSt Yes most oil pumps can withstand a viscosity of 110 cSt, however, this will cause a loss in fuel economy, and will not repair most oil burning causes (worn piston rings, and or worn valve seals, and or stuck PCV). A thick sSt can account somewhat for worn internal engine mechanicals So adding an oil additive which has a viscosity of 110 cSt at 100C, can be very problematic, as it raises the cSt for both cold and hot engine operating conditions. As Scotty has indicated, it should never be used in engines with VVT, as the viscosity will be so high that the VVT assembly simply may not work, or it might become damaged.

[@DavidTMSN]

To expound upon that: How risky would it be using a 5w40 in a 5w30 only specified vvt tgdi engine? Newer car, but was curious about cold flow primarily.

Good advise Scotty, here another that has worked for me. Next time you run into a high mileage manual trans that is noisy, especially if it uses ATF for lube like a T5, change the oil and refill with a 10 wt. tractor/transmission oil compatible with wet brakes like HyTran. the heavier weight oil gives more cushion, it contains friction modifiers for high loads and will not effect any composite linings for the synchro's or whatever. I've used it in many vehicles from S10's to Mustangs with great success. Looks like a little STP shouldn't hurt either.

Scotty. I used to buy into oil additives including one with Teflon. I have an older 1986 Ford Ranger 2.9L V6 and decided to avoid the extra cost of an oil additive and purchased the Wal-Mart SuperTech full synthetic oil. The engine ran quieter compared to the straight mineral oil, ceased smoking and I have noticed an increase in gas mileage. Even with 200K approaching this truck is still running mechanically tough. Next two fluid changes are my manual trans oil and differential oil (might be the original fluids in both at over 30 years old!). Will use the SuperTech full synthetic 75W - 90 for limited slip differential. Thank you for your informative and entertaining videos Scotty.

I worked at auto parts stores and daily customers came in for lucas oil treatment. It works and so does the fuel system cleaner , I would always love when customers came in to get it “ to help em save gas” 😂

[@markk3652]

There are now 3 variants of Lucas. Original, synthetic formula, and now this low viscosity version. Those who use Lucas believe in it. I've been using it for decades in all of the engines of my cars without any issues at all. Bought a 2003 Durango brand new, it has the 5.9 magnum engine with now 166000 miles. I changed valve cover gaskets recently, and the inside of this engine is spotlessly clean. Synthetic oil with the Lucas synthetic stabilizer is all its ever had. The 1 quart addition blends down to a 20 percent concentration in the system, so it isn't really too much of a good thing. My 2011 F150 holds almost 8 quarts of oil, so the 1 quart addition of Lucas is even less of a percentage. The purpose of this additive is to keep the oil inside bearing surfaces after engine shutdown. It seems to do that very well, eliminating dry starts. This is where most engine wear occurs, my cars live in the midwest winters and it does make a difference in how they crank, sound, and run when it gets polar cold. I had a 2006 F150 with the 5.4 3v, the Lucas added to the oil helped the oil pressure stay in spec for the vvt system to operate better in the scorching summer temps. I use it, it works, I believe in it.

[@warryckscown5620]

Yup , I change my oil at 5000 to 6000 km, use the correct grade recommended by Toyota, which never mentioned any additional ‘stuff ‘ and filter with the next change. 360k km an still going sweet..

benson420710 mine is a 29 yr old land cruiser, 2LTE diesel. Have had 2L powered cars since 92. I have seen 3 with run bearings at number 3 cylinder, one guy said he couldn’t remember when he last changed the oil.. The other two 10 months.. Average klms is bout 14k Per year.. So yes, you could go longer but I’ll play on the safe side.. Oil is cheap..

[@Nonotkidding]

Thank you for the great videos. I have watched two or three dozen. I drive mostly freeway, and a little around town (Las Vegas, NV). Like you said, constant driving is ten times better than 'stop and go' driving. But I got a little carried away with specialty oils after the first 100,000 miles of using the recommended oil in my 2002 GMC Envoy. I changed it every 3000 miles. But from 100K to 150K miles I used synthetic blends, only changing it every 8,000 - 10,000 miles. And now that I'm over 215,000 miles, I'm using full synthetic oil, with a can of "Restore' and I've been going 12,000-15,000 miles between oil changes. I use the Lucas gas treatment with the better additive grades of gas, and I haven't changed my fuel filter since 50,000 miles. But in my new Dodge (I know, I know), I talked the dealer down from $43K to $19K, back in 2008, right after the economy tanked, and I only have 42,000 miles on it. I baby that truck for city deliveries and I use regular fuel, synthetic blend at the recommended viscosity and oil changes every 5,000 - 8,000 miles, depending on the weather, roads and amount of longer distance drives.

Dirty oil needs to be out regardless how many miles. The dirt will clog oil holes and wear out will happen.

Scotty, you answered an age old concern I've had for years regarding that Thick Lucas stuff in my 86 Regal Turbo with newer Comp Cams hydraulic roller lifters I installed. I've been blaming the lifter clack on the design of the lifters and cam.....but the Lucas thick stuff is probably contributing to the noise all this time! THANK YOU! I'll try the thinner stuff!

And the Chrysler stopped using oil, and no smoking 170,000 miles. I have used a lot of Lucas products, and have had very good luck with them.

[@fasterthanaturtle]

I spoke with Lucas manufacturer. To help me understand their oil stabilizer. They said that it is only for race cars that use alcohol. The alcohol seeps into the oil since it's thinner. WO Lucas the oil starts at 40w and ends at around 5w. So by adding Lucas oil stabilizer it starts with around 50 and ends with 25. That's how the engine doesn't fall apart near the end of the race.

[@Continus]

Speaking of burning oil... I learned to not use synthetic on a 2003 Chevy cavalier. That engine burned that oil to a point where I was hearing knocking noises from the pistons. At first, I thought to my self, I'll get it checked out at the mechanic shop on Saturday (this was Monday). Come Thursday, it was getting worse during idle times at home or a stop lights. That's when I remembered that I had used synthetic oil, it has been the only thing I changed. Got me some old fashioned oil and the engine stopped making those knocking noises, engine RPM's went back to normal too! Once I got to the mechanic shop, I told them what happened. They didn't judge me (not to my face anyways), they changed the old, dark as mud, oil and changed my filter. And man o man... I almost killed the engine to a great car. Best thing the shop told me was that everything looked good after all has been said and done. That car is still running great even 4 years later after that.
