They say Lucas products and work miracles

Do you use 1 quart of Lucas and 8 quarts oil? Or do you use 2 quarts for that capacity. Thinking of adding this as my 18 5.0 is starting to make noise during cold startup. Almost like a dry start for the first 5 seconds

@@jonathanbrown1141 exactly, i personally use only 1 qt of the lucas. obviously it thickens the oil too so you dont want to thicken it too much. ive found using it for over 50k now that its the perfect ratio. the thicker the oil the less gas mileage you get. a little bit of advice also, use 5w30. 5w20 is too thin for the coyote engine.

@@thegamehud8214 Thank you so much. I will give it a shot!

Same here bro. 2009 cts 200,000 miles. Mobile1 and Lucus keeps her running smooth

Same, 2000, Tahoe, 5.3, 250k.

Was thinkin of doin that as well in the future, thanks for the tip

They were designed with 5w-30 in mind, then right before they began entering production CAFE came in and made them update their specs to 5w-20 back to 1996, got a 96 mustang that says 5w-30 on the oil cap, and 5w-20 on the factory spec sheet.

Amsoil signature series is great stuff. I don’t run it the full 25,000 miles like they promote though. Their severe gear rear diff fluid is also the shit.

IT'S THE BEST SURE MADE A BELIEVER OUT OF ME. PUT IN MY EVERY OIL CHANGE.

Hey as long as she’s running strong, that’s all the matters

@@chrisrodproductions yes sir. It's all we can ask for

By any chance does it get cold where you live and have you ever had any issues at cold start if so?

@@jayaguilar8253 hey Jay yes it gets cold ( New England) never had any cold start issues. Even in frigid temps and currently when starting no knocking or pinging. Also not once have I ever had to add oil between changes. I'm by no means a car guy but a regular guy who does his regular maintenance himself.

What ratio Lucas to engine oil do you use? I'm trying about 1/2 quart Lucas and 3.5 quarts oil in my 03 Camry (takes 4 quarts) but soon I want to try 1 full quart of stabilizer to 3 quarts engine oil

Good to know thanks

Good advice...a mechanic told my mom she needed a lifter and valve job in her ls1 SS camaro..I took a good look at it and it was a broken exhaust head bolt.

How many miles is on it?

MMO for winters.

Anything to help out!

Appreciate the info👍🏼

Got 200,000 (bought with 103,000) on my F150 4.6L. Used motorcraft oil and filter for every service at 7k miles. Noticed oil consumption at 145k, so dropped oil changes to 5k miles and started adding Lucas high mileage stabilizer. No more oil consumption since doing so. I literally just changed my oil 2 days ago and went to Valvoline Full Synthetic High Mileage with the Lucas Pure Synthetic so we’ll see how it goes. O and my truck doesn’t knock/tick

Do you recommend using oil stabilizer for every oil change?

Those engine go 300k+ easily with normal maintenance

This is true, but she never got love like I give her

hope it works for you man 👍

royal purple doesn't do what it says as per oil analysis test that I have tested.the best oil that really is top of the line is mobile one.per oil analysis test.

Honestly if you have engine that has VVT(Variable Valve Timing) just keep puttin full synthetic oil or which ever oil you currently use every 3k miles instead of your regular oil changes. I currently DO NOT use the product anymore and just change my oil more often than I should. Also If your still trying to decide, it means its usually not worth experimenting. Hope this helps

Used transfix 5 times in my cars as well as 3 friends. Great results. 2 of em were over 4 years ago running strong. Slips...noise...rough shifting ...car wouldn't move...won't shift out of gear. Fluid levels were normal so that wasn't the issue Amazing for me. There's more to this product than just "thickness". Something in there. I call it the juice 😄

The older version was not made for hydraulic lifters.

I have a 01 BMW X5 with the 3.0, I use full synthetic oil in it. Should I use the Lucas pure synthetic additive or the regular Lucas heady duty oil stabilizer?

Does it get cold where you live and have you ever had any problems using the Lucas oil stabilizer pure synthetic

Really the HD is meant for use with thicker oils, such as 15w-40 or 20w-50

How much do you use? And how cold does it get where you use it at?

@@jayaguilar8253 2004 ford f150 5.4l 3v, On each oil change i use 1 quart of lucas and 6 of mobil one 5-30 synthetic, I'm in washington state so in winter is really cold, the oil cap says 5w20 but is been proven that 5w30 is better, also if you can you should upgrade your oil pump for M360HV 20% more flow

@@mayitas107 but you’ve never had any problems starting it in the really cold though?

@@mayitas107 how cold can it get?

I don't have any problems and is @ 30 degrees weather but last year I remember was 27 degrees by the mountain were i have to work

Says 20%

It’s sounds good lol

Anything to help

High mileage oils are marketing getting you to spend more...

@@Prestiged_peck Maybe not. Go see Project Farm video about high milage oil vs normal ones. kzfaq.info/get/bejne/pKyad6Z8v6u3iqM.html

@@TheMax0005 he finally did one?!?! I gotta see this

as long as it works for you my friend, that's what counts

Lucas doesn't do anything except degrade your oil. This is science, not speculation. kzfaq.info/get/bejne/ead3h5ia07e3k3k.html

been told this multiple times, may just give it a go

I changed the oil every 7000km since I bought the car with 53000km on the odometer. Once I noticed the consumption was starting to kinda going quicker I went to 5000km oil changes with topups. I have run seafoam in the crankcase to get the deposits broken up and I have changed the pcv valve but it still consumes more than I would like. No blue smoke out the tail. Smooth starts still, no ticking. Just oil gets consumed for whatever reason. My new mechanic told me to try lucas oil stabilizer. Just looking for insight on my nissan versa 1.8

Sick video right lmao

Yea those run forever. I did have to change the intake manifold cause it had a coolant leak due to it being plastic. But mine has 260k runs like a champ

@@tsmith7699 I actually had to change my intake manifold as well because of that aluminum crossover. Where it meets the plastic the outer seal broke and leaked antifreeze. But it was because it overheated after I threw a belt. What a job that is man!!

Was curious if it helps, I have a ‘12 with TSB regarding excessive oil consumption. I’m over 150k, bought used, been wondering if the additive will help with piston rings and oil consumption. It’s sorry that Honda puts out cars saying it’s okay to lose a qt. Every 1000 miles. No, that’s not good.

@@outofmind9222 Ayyy, Honda Gang. Got an 05 Civic 5 speed with the V-TEC engine. Has a tick, but ppl saying not to use Heavy duty formula. Got a bottle of the high mileage one. Been told to use their new low viscosity formula, or the pure synthetic. Any thoughts? Is the high mileage bottle as thick as the OG heavy duty one? Planning an oil change using Pennz high mileage synthetic in about 900 miles with 5W-20.

@@dbzownz12345 I would stick to OEM as far as oil and filter. I haven’t added anything since my last post, I just keep track of when I change my oil and check levels every Saturday. Ticking is fine and normal on the civic as long as it’s not excessively loud. I’ve owned 3 now all have a light ticking. Fuck the high mileage and the additives IMO, just make sure you run what your car is designed for, I’ve always run synthetics. Change every 3K or 3 months. Oil is the lifeblood of the car. I’m hoping I can get at least 300K on my car as long as I keep maintaining it

@@outofmind9222 Well, my car's sitting @ 290k with an engine replacement sitting @ 170k from what the previous owner mentioned to me. The ticking is quite loud tbh. It's an 05 so I don't see much of a point using OEM stuff anymore. However, I do apperciate your comment though. If you hear anything else about Lucas feel free to LMK, thanks bro!

@@dbzownz12345 is your car burning oil or are you just trying to maintain it best you can? I’m at 180K and my buddy who is a master mechanic said the type (brand) of oil you use is irrelevant, but as far as Lucas they make a synthetic additive too if you were to switch to synth you can try that one.

Some of that Marvel oil in the engine oil also helps. Every once in a while, just prior to an oil change I’ll add half a bottle to the oil and let it idle in the driveway. Drop the oil, refill with oil, and a quart of the Lucas. 2012 Silverado 1500, 254,000 miles and still running great. 35psi at idle, and 60 plus at speed, on the oil pressure.

These motors were designed for 5w-30 and then cafe came in and made them use a thinner oil right before they were about to introduce the 3vs, made them backtrack everything back to 96 too, my 96 mustang oil cap says 5w-30 and factory spec sheet says 5w-20. You run 5w-30 synthetic in the 3v triton motors and they quiet up real fast and don't develop half the issues they're famous for if you stick to good brands and the factory interval (not factory oil though, it's kinda crap, just good enough that it won't wear it out before warranty expires.

@@Prestiged_peck You can run 5w-20 or 5w-30 20 in the winter and 30 in the summer in-between oil changes not much of a difference in oil weight

@@Wright10301973 there's no reason to switch h between those two weights based on temperature, ru hey both have the same cold weight, the engine should still always be able to get to operating temperature, which is the only place the hot weight (20 or 30) matters, and 30 is always going to be better at preventing wear than a 20. But when the oil is cold in the winter both of those should be the exact same viscosity, now if you're talking about going from 5w-30 in the winter to 10w-30 in the summer, that makes more sense, but is still not a good move since the 10w-30 can actually end up thinner above normal operating temperature, and will always take longer than 5w-30 in the same conditions to build proper oil pressure. And yes we're talking tenths of a second, but youd be very suprised how much wear can occur in a tenth of a second, and if each startup takes a tenth of a second, then 100 startups is 10 seconds, 1000 startups is 100 seconds, or a minute 40 without oil. Would you want to run your engine for almost 2 minutes with no oil? No? Exactly. Btw a 33% change in weight is actually quite a lot, that's more than enough to be the difference between a 50k mile failure and a 300k mile failure. (Have a close friend with an 06 5.4 3v, got it new, started putting 5w-30 in at 10k miles, and is now on 300k miles with ZERO engine work beyond basic maintenance (plugs, coils, fluids, and belts) runs 5-7000 miles every change, mobil 5w-30, and for the 2 initial oil changes it was mobil 5w-20.

There absolutely is a reason to switch between the two grades of oil do to conditions one expands more than the other big difference

Unfortunately I am aware of it, at this point I’m just sending it lol

Tried but the frequency was too much, sick

Sick Right?

My car exploded in a 🔥 going down the interstate. I looked up and the car had stopped..but the transmission just kept going down the highway..a bottle of Lucas fix chasing after it.

I looked at the video and then had to comment, sick

lmao, what limitations???

@@dkrawk8309 some dude said this stabilizer can potentially damage an engine due to how thick the oil can become. Apparently gunk builds up over time? Haven’t researched it up myself but sounds reasonable

@@anthonyc8550 absolute nonsense

@@dkrawk8309 he claimed 15 yrs in the industry of rebuilding Hondas but i can’t imagine a brand like Lucas putting out a harmful product

I use this with 0w-30 in my modular cars (except the built ones, they get 5w-50 because looser tolerances), and NEVER have an issue with cold starts, live in west texas but used to work in north dakota, amsoil 0w-30/0w-40 with some lucas synthetic stabilizer is your very best friend up there, shit fired right up every time if it was able to turn over, minus 40 out sometimes, no block heater because I didn't have a way to power it 99% of the time.

Confused by your last sentence

@@All-about-everything Hi Sam, I mean that if you use an additive in your engine oil as soon as the vehicle is out of warranty (that way, the manufacturer cannot argue that the additive was either the cause, or a contributary factor in an early engine/gearbox failure) then you will enjoy better reliability from the powertrain.

@@bigboreracing356 What a nice way to start the day, seeing a comment like that one! My comment above was aimed at older engines, not todays ultra tight tolerance engines which are, in my opinion, weaker than those engines of 40 years ago. Chalk and cheese. Additives is a multi-trillion dollar industry which absolutely does have its place, even with todays oil technology. Lucas, Wynns, Forte, STP etc, etc spend millions on R&D into products that are designed to enhance the effectiveness of todays oils and other lubricants. So if i'm full of shit, as you kindly put it, then I am in good company. Millions of owners worldwide use additives with good reason.

@@Joshie2256 Not personally, no. We use a lot of engines, sometimes procurement will buy 20 or more at the same time, for the same applications. Many years of experimenting with many different additive types, (and no additives at all, just the manufacturers recommended oil type and grade) have shown us the benefits of Lucas products. I do not get paid by Lucas to say this, it is personal experience of their products.
