Lucas Oil Stabilizer reduces engine tick and knock on 190k motor

- I’m this video, I use 1 quart of Lucas Oil stabilizer during the oil change to reduce the engine ticks and knocks from this high mileage motor with 190,000 miles. No leaks, just a loud lifter tick and heavy engine knock. The Lucas really made a difference and the car is running a lot smoother with better oil pressure. Don’t be afraid to give it a try, it really works!
I use the synthetic version on my Mini Cooper S, notorious for engine problems, now on 221 thousand miles, no problems with it, added bonus, stopped the oil burning they are notorious for, I'd recommend it
be careful with this thing it modifies the oil converting it form its original grade to a higher one if you put it to a 5w30 it converts it to a 10w50
@@lexiath The synthetic version is much lower viscosity for that reason.
I recommend doing about half a can of seafoam in the crankcase about 100 miles before an oil change, and then adding the Lucas, it damn near works miracles
Would this work in 2.4l 2015 gmc terrain

Used this for a noisy motor that was running rough.. actually fixed it..
I couldn’t believe it myself..
no it didnt fix it at all. your just kidding yourself. the problem is still there and your engine is not running like it should, its worn out
@@philldownes8685could have just been running rough cause dirty oil and stuck lifters and the Lucas could have fixed the problem.
Use 20w50 vavoline race oil, worked on my 1999 suburban with 165k miles. I also added 1 quart of lucas high milage oil stabilizer.
I dump the whole bottle in. My motors are quiet as a mouse been using it for years. Make sure the oil goes to the high line on the dip stick all the time. Not in the middle
All ya have to do to make it flow better is put it in a pot with water and put it on the kitchen stove till the water boils. It pours as easily as regular oil.
I use the stuff on all my vehicles. I use the 5w20 it calls for but its very thin so after 100k miles or so some guys say go with a thicker oil but if you do 1 qt of lucas with the regular oil it will thicken the oil for the current interval.
I use in my older vehicles '82 VW Rabbit Diesel and '69 Mach 1. Works!
Rabbit diesel lol😂😂😂
That’s like saying “a power wheel … diesel” lol
Man I changed the oil pickup tube oring and the the pressure sensor on my 2005 chevy express didn't work oil pressure was dropping to 10 at idle and 20 while driving put this oil stabilizer in and it worked great 35 psi at idle up to 60 while driving WOW! My chevy express has 297,000 miles I tow a trailer all the tine still has lots of power! So far so good
Wow that’s awesome!
Do you use the one in the video or the full synthetic
How is the express doing now?
My 2000f150 just started making a tick noise, mechanic suggested Lucas oil I’m going to give it a try see if I can get a little extra life out of my truck, otherwise I’ll have to sell a kidney to afford a new one 😂
the problem with lifter ticks is its probably a partially clogged lifter port and thick additive may not be the right direction I've seen videos where they add a bottle of transmission fluid because its high detergent to clean ports. they leave it in til next oil change!
.
Very interesting, that’s something I’ll have to look up too! Thanks!
Exactly. Add can seafoam in with oil then few hundred miles later change.
Seafoam also works well added in the crankcase
Agree with the others
Add Seafoam for a few hundred miles
It will break up any sludge in the tiny oil ports
Good video 💯
02 5.3 vortec with 256K used to have 40psi oil now only 20. After I added 1qt of this stuff I’m sitting at 45psi and my motor seems to leak less and sound quieter.
That’s awesome. Hope it holds up!
How is the 2002 silverado holding up?
I see that's a 4.0 litre engine so I'm guessing it's a Dodge Nitro your working on, I too have a 4.0 litre Nitro and I get a knocking sound too first thing in the morning..Lucas quiets the knock very quickly..love this stuff..have used it for years...no problems..
That is correct. I was satisfied with the reduced noise
I mix Lucas with the oil IN the bottle, then pour it in the engine
Same here. I buy the oil in a 5 quart jug, pour out a quart, then add the Lucas to the jug. Then I tilt the jug back and forth for a minute or two to premix it.
So can I mix it with synthetic oil
@@maelg7267 any oil
Sheet great advice I gotta stop smoking the zaza lol
@@anthonypeterkin6916 It's cool man😁
Love this!
Less is more in winter weather.0w20 to 5w30 quieted my young engine. My 280000 ford gets thicker oil, and a swig of lucas. Just enough to show on a cold dip stick. Winter cold . Not needed like 105°summer heavy hauling. Just saying.
How long after you add oil stabilizers, do they last in terms of mileage. And thanks for the vid wasnt sure where to addi t
i use 2 qts - just fine.
Adding a oil stabilizer reduces your additive package in your oil, the reason for the engine knock is because of a stablizer.
Use BG M.O.A every oil change and you'll never need to put anything else
What’s the easiest way to drain a quart of oil? Just as if I’m changing it, from the oil plug below the vehicle?
Yes, quickly pull the plug for a few seconds and check the level and repeat until a quart low.
STILL HEAR THE KNOCK SOUNDS EXACTLY THE SAME. YOU SIR HAVE PLACEBO OF THE EAR DRUMS. 🙄
Thank you

I judt did this how long does it take yo to work the knocking noise has stopoed but when i oress da gas its a rattling sound still
The noise will probably never completely go away but this helps reduce the knock
I’m at 80% oil life , can I just pour a bottle without having to drain a quart ?
Check your oil level on the dipstick. Will need to drain a little if it’s still full.
I’ve used it on 170k motor it does help but doesn’t totally shut it up
What kind of vehicle is this? Just curious.
2009 Dodge Nitro
My idea...No Lucas.. 150,000+ mi.....Valvoline Racing 50W....
Your hurting the engine at start up with that thick of oil
the first number represents the thickness while cold
running a 50W in the winter months is NOT a good idea
The oil will not be able to make it's way through all the smaller oil ports in the engine as well
How long after adding oil stabilizers do they last on terms of mileage?
Can you use this with synthetic oil as well?

Yes, make sure to check the label on the lucas for more recommendations
I have a question. Use the whole bottle or just a half.
Use the whole bottle
Please ALWAYS mix LUCAS with the engine oil beforehand and only then fill it in! If done like in this video, engine damage could occur!
Thanks for the video, may I ask the difference between this the the pure synthetic
I would recommend reading the bottle labels to find out the difference
As shown here it is completely wrong. You should never add LUCAS straight, but always mix it with the engine oil beforehand and only then fill it in! is also recommended by the LUCAS company!
But it sounds like you have his road knocked engine tick
Sounds like a rod knocking cuz. Good luck
Got drive it 300 miles to get the results
Link to the second video
Might as well spend the extra money for better oil, instead of additive. You could have just used 5W40 with high zinc and moly.
I have a full oil tank, could I use this now or do I have to let it lower down on the oil.
You need to drain one quart of oil. Never overfill the engine over its full capacity or you can damage the engine seals
Update?
It worked well. I sold the car last year for a newer vehicle
What if I did the oil change already but didn’t put the Lucas ? Can I still put Lucas ?
Yes. Drain a quart of oil. Check the dipstick to make sure you are a quart low and then add Lucas. Or just wait until next oil change.
I hear the same
Can I use it on my Toyota venture
Probably yes
Hey I know this is an old video, but did the noise get better as time went on?
Yes. It was even quieter after the next oil change. The knock has reduced a lot.
@@franksgarage13 nice! Gonna put some in my TJ next oil change. Thanks for the reply.
@@poopypants660 did it work for you? i am thinking of adding this on my tj too
@@poopypants660 sounds great! may i ask how much u added in the engine? I usually add 6 liters of oil in my TJ so maybe 5 liters then a bottle of locus heavy duty?
Lucas^
i am thinking of a cod weapon named locus sorry lol
Very little to no anti wear ingredients in that stuff. Your depleting your oils additive wear package using that stuff.
They make a high mileage version that has additives.
save al ltha trubbish just use a much thicker oil.. its not going t ofix the motor just create a smaller gap between mechanical parts... revving the shit out of it on start up dont help.. no reason to do that at all.. just turn the key..
@franks garage plesse help
Does it work for oil burn engine ?
I’m not sure but it is worth trying
It definitely helps burn less oil, won’t be able to stop it completely but it’s better than nothing, it helps my f150 not leak oil as bad
@@shaneomac5074what engine and year ?
Does that stuff drain well when hot?
Yes
