Scotty help me out. 1999 Ford truck 5.4 L Triton 200,000 miles uses 1quart oil 5w20 every 3500 miles between oil changes
I change my oil every 5,000 miles do I need to use a oil additive if so which one. My truck doesn't smoke at all.i have no oil leaks.
Hey Scotty I have a 1998 Chevy Cheyenne V6 4.3 the I bought for 500 the engine leaks oil in the front seal should I buy a another use old truck
Hey Scotty I have a Ford f150 that's tapping in the engine what's going on and how can I fix it..
Hi Scotty. My 99 Honda CRV uses 5W30 oil and burns about 2 quarts between oil changes. Is this high or low viscosity? Should I use the old or new formula Lucas?
I've been telling this to people for years!! Oil additives are for uneducated people that believe anything and like to piss there Money away...
I don't know what is better.
Scotty's info... or the pics he edits in for dramatic effect.
His pics
50/50 balance. Of great education and humour.
Scotty is a man of culture he knows what “Thick” really means.
He is a man lol. I doubt our generation is the first to like thiccc girls 😉
Thick as a Brick
I had a buddy named Don Zuppello. We used to call him the "thick" one.
You said a man of culture. He knows what THICK really means. 🤣🤣😘😘🤣
😂😂😂😂😂
I have used Lucas fer years never had an engine go out and put hundreds of thousands miles. It worked. For me!
any engine will run 200k miles if you change yur oil......your wasting money on Lucas
I use ZMax which isn't thick at all. I know a guy who has a 2009 Shelby Mustang with 267,000 who started using ZMax since the car was new. Never had a problem
@@PHILLIPS8822 Im a pilot for decades. FAA only approves ZMax for our piston engines. I used Teflon in Slick 50 too. Airplane climbs better. Small planes take off and also climb at full power.
LUCAS SYNTHETIC ADDITIVE IS FANTASTIC...
@@bigsparky8888 for engine oil or which one?
I've stated this before, but because I never cease to be absolutely amazed by the honesty and intelligence of this gentleman, here I go, again; SCOTTY KILMER RULES, and we, your loyal fans, are most grateful, for
your unique, mesmerizingly interesting, Videos. THANK YOU, SCOTTY!!
Regular oil changes is the key..
started using Lucas Engine Oil 280,000 km. Presto!! 600 km goes up to 1000+ km per liter. Another 20,00 km and per km goes up an additional 200 km. Bonus. fabulous but not magnificent, but another bonus, fuel consumption goes down. Currently my 2001 Chrysler TC Ltd averages always 29-35 mpg highway and 16 mpg + city. What the heck, some 2019 van/trucks can't get that.. Zinga!! One day crossing from Calgary Alberta to Moosejaw Saskatchewan the old girl got 40 Mpg in that 700 km journey. Common now since then. Yabba Dabba Dooo! And that's the truth! have perfect record keeping as proof.
J L whats a full maintenance service? I only change motor oil & oil filter for every 5,000 km.
@@rickschleich9841 I believe it that stuff does wonders man
J L never did a full maintenance for my vehicle. Thanks for the info.
J L mine is a used car so it doesnt matter to me. 😁
I've used both Lucas and Liquid Moly in my '93 XJ and my '03 F150. It's helped both of them run more smoothly and has slightly improved fuel economy. Whatever it takes to keep 'em running and avoid obtaining a $1000.00 monthly payment!! 😁 Thanks for the honest input, Scottie! Always appreciated!
I had 29 diff cars in 50 years driving. Always use good oil and Slick 50. Old cars over 100k i buy only to avoid payments. Never had to repair an engine.
I used the lucas trany treatment in my 2001 f250 it smoothed out shifting . Good product
LOVE YOUR TUTORIALS!! Been watching since 2016. I love your unbiased opinion and it's sad to see individuals such as yourself be replaced by kids.
My wife caught me adding Lucas oil additive to my girlfriend’s engine. Do you think it will still use less oil while I’m in the hospital?
@museack or a male tthat says beta haha
Not unless she waits untill your asleep and bashes a coffee table on your face!!
Marine Corps you should try it In Her boyfriends car
@@davezimmerman1510 : Jar Heads. Never gonna learn . . .
Said to the tone of Bubba to the Toe Cutter about Johnny the Boy in Mad Max. "He's never gonna learn!"
Is she mad at the car or the fact you have a girlfriend.
I just learned something, that was informative. Thank You 😌
I love you guys. I grew up in the 60's and had similar experiences with the additives.
Thick girl image had me cracking up, love your vids Scotty! Taught me alot!
Think he likes the THICK gurls
I had to go re-watch it after you said that 🤘🏿

With Scotty, one video a day keeps the mechanic away 😄
Lmao
Voted “best reply”
You BECOME the mechanic lol
I used to use Slick 50 and Duralube in my old small engines. Seemed to keep them going a little longer.
👍🏻👍🏻 Honorable Mention Scotty! Super valuable and important knowledge donated here for people who care to learn about having a better performing vehicle ! Years of wrenching teaches us great tips and tricks it's very cool and rare that someone passes that knowledge on! Thanks
That insert picture of the thick female is hilarious, but a great example to explain what thickness is! 😂😂😂 I got the message loud and clear...lol 👍
This is the first video of yours I have seen and I’d like to mention how much I like that your video does not have useless gaps of dead air or uninteresting filler video. You deliver the information quickly and effectively while having well edited cuts between camera shots. It works really well for my low attention span. Hadn’t realized I just watched nearly 8 minutes of video. Normally videos drag so much I lose interest after 30-45 seconds.
Nice work
Scotty you’ve taught so many of us ADIY’ers to keep our vehicles in shape for DECADES to come. THANK YOU 🙏
As always Scotty, your information is invaluable. Keep doing what you are doing and thank you.
Great Job Scotty!! Learned so much from your channel. Keep it up!
"Oils well that ends well" !!!
Thanks Scotty. I have always wondered about using additives in these variable valve motors I was using Molly I will look into the Lucas product thank you again
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. ;-)
Love the down to earth logic and real info with a little funny punch now and then! Great channel to watch about real stuff from a great source of experience! Thanks for helping understand what types of additives work better with your type of engine from a great name like Lucas!
I'm going to have a pull. Thank you sir! There are some bright people out there that give insight freely. God bless you.
I've learned a lot from this guy. I watch hem all the time.
Scotty provides very honest and useful opinions and products for keeping your engines in tip-top shape to make them last for as long as they are able to last!
It's HIS opinion not fact
Strong work! Your side photos are hilarious!
My father swears by this stuff. He's always added this to his 1996 Ford F150 5.0 since he bought it with 20k miles. It now has over 300k on the engine and never had any issues with the engine.
Most likely that is because Scotty is wrong. Big surprise. I agree not to use the heavier one in VVT engines, but that was never intended for them. it is designed for older engines. He basically stays up nights trying to figure out how to cash in on people's ignorance when it comes to automotive. Fact.
@@JoesAutoElectric no it's most likely Because the 1996 truck doesn't have variable valve timing!! And you are wrong!!
It's a Ford truck ..this is very common . Ask Scotty!
@@JoesAutoElectric Damn, tell us how you really feel. Scotty gives us information, some we already experienced and some we've never heard of. What is your contribution?
Yo daddy's truck is humming because he did the maintenance. He could have used nothing ever but Supertech 10W-30 coventional and a no-name filter and he would have had the same experience. The viscosity improver additive had nothing to do with it. But if it makes him feel good, fine. It's all about peas of mind. Little green peas, flowing through your mind..
This dude is my car advice guy when my dads gone. Love it
I love your videos Scotty! Thanks for the tips and tricks!
Damn that was some thicc oil
It was cold when heated its alot thinner
So thicc it may burn coal.
live and let live Yeah, and well lubricated, easy to get the pistons goin up and down 😂😂😂
There was another product called "Motor Honey" About the same as that thick Lucas Oil stuff. I used a lot of it in an ancient car.
@@fhuber7507 HouseArrest was talking a out a different type of thicc motor honey. As a counter-example, I like them like Marvel Mystery Oil.
Change oil and filter reguraly people!Scotty speaks the word of truth all time
I do my own oil cause its a diesel and it's expensive if i were to go to the stealership. Just got one of those vac pumps excited to try it and see if its better than draining
@@leadnsteel1428 I would not trust a vac pump to get all the oil out. You get more oil out when you drain it.
@@leadnsteel1428 lmao stealership!
ray bee Depending on what kinda oil you are using and what mileage you got on what car you drive.
I do oil change, tire rotation, brake pads changing and many many more myself. The dealer charges me 90$ for cheap oil change and 498$ for front brake pads changing.
Marvel Mystery Oil.
It's been around longer than anything else. I've used it for 20+years and I've noticed the difference in every car I've used it in. Both in the gas tank and the oil pan.
It works. 👍🏻😊
My dad taught me about Marvel Mystery oil when I was a teenager in the 60's
I love the miracle oil too. Been using it for years.
👍MMO is great for every fill up gains 5mpgs also B-12 Berry’s Man’s fuel supplement clean my fuel tank brought all the dirty fuel though the filters Wix’s & K&N I cut it open seen the filth debris also turned over the filter that fuel runs into from fuel tank seen discoloration in fuel. Works Great 👍
Great, video, Scotty! I couldn't agree more. Everything you said here is 100% spot-on. I'm ashamed to admit that years ago, when I was a stupid kid, I put a thick oil conditioner in a Lexus I had. Hydraulic everything. It didn't kill the motor, but the timing belt went out not long after that. Probably unrelated, but I still shudder to think about how stupid that was. Stupid is as stupid does.
Good old vs new Lucas oil treatment explanation, thanks!
Scitty, I always enjoy your common sense reviews and comments. I drive a 2004 F-150 2wd, with 4.6l engine. Thanks, Bill Anderson, Missouri Ozarks
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.
Good review. I'm a lucas user in the engine and auto transmission of my mazda. TY.
03:41 "REAL THICK" 😂
Thick like Cold grits, thick like luke dancers from 2 live crew music videos and concerts
🤣🤣🤣
Where she at?
Thick like a kindergarten pencil
@@mostmost1 lol
Very helpful video to help older vehicles keep revving up their engines.
Thanks again Scotty! Keep them coming 👍🏼
Worked like magic on my ‘97 Chevy S10, 185K, 5-speed manual transmission-engine was quieter and smoother as soon as I left the oil change bay. 👍
The thick girl image was the best kkk.
That image was like pure sunshine ...
Lmao. Great pics Scotty
3:42
I was like "no he didnt haha!" Did Scotty just make a THICC reference! xD
that was a delicious woman! 😋
3:42 that's good thickness right there. thanks for that @Scotty Kilmer
Thanks for the great info. Love your easy going explanations. Lots of love
Appreciate your help Scotty
Fantastic and informative as usual Scotty.
I wish I live near you.
I find watching your videos are nothing but EXCELLENT ADVICE,much appreciated from n old backyard mechanic...and I mean old.
One of the better auto informationals out there on the web. Keep revving up those engines buddy.
Scotty, Are you sure the low viscosity is safe to use in modern 0w20 engines oil? It's still relatively thick at operating temperature.
Good job Scotty.....You are really good at what your doing! Very informative!
Thanks for another great product review Scotty!
Awesome comparison and compatibility analysis. I have cars and trucks across the age spectrum and this information will be put to good use, thx
Love all the news and updates.
I love your videos Scotty.
They are always so informative.
I learned so much to do and so much not to do.
Always thank you.
My car doesn't have a Toyota emblem on it should I scrap it?
Immediately scrap it and use the money to buy a silver '94 Toyota Celica with a standard transmission and over 294K miles!
Buy a Toyota emblem and slap it on your vehicle
Scrap it
Some Toyotas are hidden as Chevy and Geo Prisms. They are Corollas. Also Lexus' and Scions are Toyotas too.
And an Aftermarket Air Intake.
For somebody that is just really learning about cars and getting into the details your channel helps fill in some of the gaps. Thanks! and it doesn't hurt the actually believe in America and got the right way of looking at things
Scotty,
Thanks! This really makes sense.
Awesome images for the explanations!!! Thanks for all your videos. And In certain cases, THICK is a great thing!!!
I had to pause and see how “thick” it is 🤣🤣🤣
Oh it was thick alright 😂
🤣
Looks like Kardashian
I had to rewind.
Favorite part of the video
Great video to give a clear understanding of additives! Thank you!
Thank you so much for the info Scotty!
i like the knowledge you put out there Scotty ! .. please keep em coming .
Scotty is the Meme Man!, he records his videos in 10 minutes and spends the whole night looking for those crazy pictures.
That's why sometimes I have to play the video twice.:
1.- to laugh
2.- to learn
Haa, I'm still looking for that Meme he had in one vid, " Sum Ting Wong." Should have saved it.
@@grassroot011 I just watched that video,I forgot which one was it
Scotty: real thick, realllllll thicccc
TH-cam producers help create these videos with stock images, I wager
Lol that's true!
I really appreciate all your videos. Thank you.
I am going to get some of the low viscosity additive today. Wish I had seen this a year ago, I'd have a chance to get some from you :) thanks for the info
Thanks Scotty. I am going to be checking out how do these additives do with a turbo’d engine. You know how do they hold up to all the heat?
Thanks
I love the consistency of this amazing channel
Scotty you’re my hero 💯. Love the videos
Thank you for additive information. Keep the videos coming
Having owned a garage for many years, I love your videos.
I’ve found the old high viscosity stabilizer works wonders for helping with dry starts in older diesel engines
Saw this video for the first time today, reminds me of my dad using STP in our old Ford tractor
As a automotive machinist and fulltime builder, he is exactly right.
Great historic description!! I learned a lot! Especially about that zinc additive being bad for the catalytic converter. Never knew that. Thanks very much.
A mechanic told me Mobil 1 took zinc out of their oil. He own a Porsche and BMW he stopped using Mobil 1 for that reason, he switched to Castrol synthetic.

Scotty you are a peace of work, I just love to listen too ya....don't quit..
love scottys videos ,great info and entertaining too!
I used Restore in my old 74 Dart slant six....actually worked real well quit smoking and burned a lot less oil. Drove it for 15 years.....was a free car too!
Scotty, I've been working on my own cars (plus friends and relatives' cars) for more than forty years now, and it never ceases to amaze me that I can glean something new from EVERY SINGLE VIDEO you make.
Love you're work Scotty. I always enjoy your videos
Thank you. I have a lifter making a noise. Was considering Lucus. Glad you told about it I'm
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.
"REAL THICK", I love this channel!
Thank you for clearing up my loose thoughts on my issues
Awesome information! Thank you! Loved it.
Rev up your Wal-Mart oil.
How can you do that?
Supertech FTW
Thank you Scotty, I have learned so much.
Great video, i love the information that you present. Good stuff. Thanks
I think Scotty is The Best Mechanic ,i like watching his videos. He always has good advice and tips and i think, he is a Genius. He's a smart guy. I use the old lucas oil stabilizer on my 305 chevy v8, 1976 chevy silverado c10,longbed everytime i do oil changes. i had this truck over 20 yrs. i have done so much work on it, through the years.even though it still needs more work.she's my baby. i don't drive it much,because i have a 2017 chevy malibu. i been driving my truck alot more now. because i need to change the battery,in my car. i had it tested at dealer. they said i need a new battery. i even tested it myself with meter.i decided i was gonna buy me a battery myself at auto store and change it myself. to save me from paying more at dealer. but before i do, i need to get a memory saver or battery jumper to save memory on car .before i change new battery. because if i change new battery, without a memory saver. then i will have to get car reset at dealer. what would you recommend,on what would be best?
Lucas Oil Stabilizer is some good stuff.
The best man100%..I love it...

Try using Motor Kote, hyper lubricant. You'll never look back.
@@MosinMan76254 I will give it a shot! Thank you for the info.
@@robertreyes6276
I deliver newspapers, 74 miles a night, lots of starts and stops. Since using motor kote I gained 30 more miles to a tank. On cold starts, I live in the north east, the engine is as quiet as a hot summer day.
Always wondered if stuff like this was worth it. Thanks Scotty.
Another great video. Another great tip to remember if my old Sierra ever needs help in the future.
I love your videos, and the knowledge that you share!
