Yup. I thought about getting a large sticker that said that.

thats why i love un-corked headers and leaded racing fuel. nothing wakes me up during the summer like that sound and smell at 7 am after staying up till 3 on a last night thrash

Lucas is an oil stabilzer and makes oil cling to things and prevents foaming.
The best oil additive out there I.M.O.,is Comp cam's #159.
I use this in every hyd. or flat tappet engine build.
In street engines my customers have had zero hyd. or flat tappet cam failures.

You should read about Lucas oil, I use it in my tranny, and power streeing, but I won't use it in my oil!

I don't know if it is a rumor, but I heard the GM is going to go back to selling EOS (or the same thing under a new name).

The STP red has 3932 ppm of zinc, the blue 2436 per a study I recently saw.

If you look around, you can find the old formula of diesel oil. I found some Castrol Diesel in the old formula today at a NAPA store. I bought some it it.

Why won't you use Lucas in your engine oil?

I bought an '89 S15 Jimmy with 135,000 miles on it. It began to lose oil pressure at an idle, the check gauges light came on and it would die. I put some Wal-Mart Super Tech oil treatment in it. It never did that again. Needless to say, I continued to use it in that vehicle and others. It also helped a '90 GMC C15 I have at present. Good stuff.
