Lucas Oil Stabilizer

[CKlasse]

Has anyone tried Lucas Oil Stabilizer? Well, since our shop has them by the gallon, I thought I might try them.

I used 1:5 ratio to the oil (AMSOIL Hi Perf), and drove for a good 3000 miles so far. I put them on both of the cars: 2000 AUDI 2.8L and 2000 SLK 230K.

Here is what I notice, during a cold start, you eliminate all the 'ticking' noise (timing chain, valve train etc). The RPM spike at cranking is also lower than usual.

Now, I am not an engine expert but I also know engine wear occurs mostly during a cold start. This seems to help a lot!

Anyone else has tried this product?

yup, but I noticed lower mpg. any thickening treatment will decrease the mpg unless you engine has a lot of blow-by, then it will actually help the performance and mpg, that is what the thickening treatments are originally made for.

I'd advise against using that product.
