What have you experienced using Lucas?
i use it for my 2007 yukon denali and it has 300k miles on it. also my 2006 impala ss burns oil faster than it should and it has a small tapping when the oil is low. adding lucas makes the oil last long and there it no more tapping in my engine
Honetly it has always done great things for my high milage cars. Like getting rid of ticks and oil consumption.
I used it for 3 oil changes in my 2001 nissan frontier. 20 years later, truck still runs fine. It did make a noticeable reduction in vibration, but that is all. It probably makes you get less fuel mileage due to it being so thick, also.
I started using Lucas on my 2002 Envoy at 170k miles. I didn't like how synthetic oils was making my oil pressure low on idle. So I started back with conventional oil and Lucas Motor Oil as an additional additive. My oil pressure corrected, horsepower increased a little. Gas mileage increased slightly. All enough to notice at the time. Now my Envoy has 330k miles. I use it in everything I own.
I have a 1985 isuzu pup g200 engine with 180,000 miles i have used it for 4 years and flawless performance. This person put just 1 quart of lucas with no motor oil from the sound and looks of it
Have used Lucas for over 20 years and never had issues...stand by it
V6 engines cannot run lucas due to its viscosity v8 and up can run it
I've been running Lucas for years on a healthy engine. Never had this problem.

Really ?
My 4.3 Vortec loved it.
My wifes Accord 2.0 VTEC loved it.
I just put 4.3 qts in my sons 2013 Escape with a 1.6L.

Not to mention my sons Rav4, his GMC Sonoma, my wifes 05 Murano, go karts engines, compressor engines, generators, outboard motors. 😂
Would you run this on a good engine? Seems unnecessary. If you’ve been running it for 20 years, I assume either you put it in new cars, or you keep buying cars with dying engines.
I’m a big Lucas fan. Been using this in place of one quart of oil for probably over ten years now. Had a 2004 grand Cherokee go 294k miles before I sold it. My last Silverado Z71 went 340k miles I bought it with 230k miles. I think the Lucas oil stabilizer is a great product and works as it says it does
This needs to be documented. Those cars getting that mileage is a true Miracle.
@@mystuff1405 Absolutely. But i'd like to see the history of money spent on maintenance on the way.
thanks for the info---I just added a quart of it today (took out a quart of oil)
Thanks for a fact based review and response. It is appreciated among all the opinions.
You gotta try Militec-1 .. you'll never use Lucas again
Years ago at a truck shop I worked at out in Vegas, an honery OTR trucker had us put in Lucas at every oil change, 10 gallon oil capacity in a Cat 3406E & he would bring 2 gallons of Lucas with him. He ran 25-30K OCIs & when you'd run an overhead on that motor, the insides looked like they were fresh off the showroom floor. 1.4 million miles on it last time I saw it & still ran like a new one, just a lovely sound that I still remember to this day. It had never been in-framed or anything else much. Granted he did stay on top of servicing it but I think that's something to consider.
I ran synthetic in a 2006 6.0 I used to have along with an FS2500 bypass system. I always dumped a quart of syn-Lucas in & I was running 50K OCIs, all highway miles on my truck & oil also lab tested. I never had any injector stiction issues in the 400K that I owned it. I had to move up to a dually for capacity, otherwise only left me stranded 1 time for the FICM. Ran perfect when I sold it. YMMV for Lucas, I think it's pretty good stuff
I've used Lucas products for years! I have never ever had an issue with it. I even used it in my big rigs. And I use it in my diesel pickup to this day
what a bull crap
I've been working on cars for 20 years now. There are good situations to use that I'd recommend and not to. Here are some, and this is short version. I do build LSX engines. I use this stuff to coat engine parts and the decks of engines so they do not get surface rust on them by the time I make it to that motor to assemble. Now, newer motors I would not use something thicker as an additive, but on higher mileage engines with 150k or 200k miles, yes. Modern engines have way more durable bearings thanks to Teflon and other chemical coatings. I don't need to get into details with you guys, can research your own engine specs yourselves as all are different. But with modern engines and oils out there, almost every car manufacturer recommends synthetic blend oil or better. So as long as you keep proper maintenance, 300k miles should be achieved out of any modern engine, unless you have a ford 5.4 triton 3v or ford in general 😆. Kidding! I love fords. Their owners always pay their bills! Honestly, if you have a low mileage engine, I wouldn't use any additives. Only when you start burning oil, or leaking oil. Now, Blue devil rear main seal stop leak works great! My 04 Tahoe has 303k miles on the clock and about 50k ago would leak 1/8th of a qt of oil overnight from the rear main. Used the BD rear main stop for 2 oil changes in a row( aka 'LOF' ), then to every 3rd LOF, and barely see a drip if anything at all. Has worked on everyone's car and truck that I've used it on. Lucas coats well, but so does full synthetic motor oils. For an engine that is not making noise and you want to use something, try something thin like Liquid Moly to your oil. It is thinner than Lucas and does not add thickness to your oil viscosity. Thicker just makes it harder for your engine to push the oil thru your engine. Especially in late model Asian cars that used 5w20 all the way down to 0w16 oil!! That's incredibly thin. It has to be to get thru all the small oil passages and solenoids that especially control your vvt camshaft components. You do not want to add something thick in that matter to your oil if no noises or issues are happening. Sometimes trying to do preventative maintenance is a bad idea. Some cars use 5w20 or 0w20. Consult your dealership or service station. After 100k in hotter regions you might want to consider going to the thicker 5w20. Or maybe stay with 0w20 and use just .5 QTs of Lucas or Marvel Mystery oil. Marvel is a great additive and is thin. It definitely has atf in it. You can smell and feel it in your fingers. Atf is old school trick for breaking loose stuck lifters and softening seals and gaskets. Or even soak a motor that has been sitting for a long time and its hard to spin it over by hand with a ratchet wrench or breaker bar. Atf is old trick for a noisy power steering pump or leaking pump at the seal. It softens up the dried and worn out seal to help stretch fixing it to next pay day or such. Some hondas actual call for atf for p/s fluid. I could go on and on, but these are some ideads and hopefully it helps a few people out. Good luck everyone!
I'm glad you made note of the Marvel Mystery oil. I always add /substitute about 4 oz of that to all my oil changes. It really keeps the top head and cylinders clean and running smooth.. My new Toyota Camry XLE calls for 0 -16 weight motor oil and I still use it, in it is well.. It seems even smoother and quieter. I remember my grandfather even used it.
Ok so what would be your advice for failblazers? And do they last till 200k? Mine is already 180k
👍🏽
@@charlesjackson1700 i love marvel oil. Essentially it is definitely made with ATF. So sometimes I just throw a little bit ATF in with the oil blend to clean up some of the internal gunk that is possibly clogging up the screen of a high mileage motor's oil pickup tube. Also a nice little mixture of 80s and brake fluid not only helps cleaning the inside up but can reduce rear main seal and other engine gasket leaks. And I'm talking about maybe 2 oz of brake fluid and 4 oz of ATF. But ATF or just marvel Mystery Oil has definitely helped stuck collapsed lifters of an engine that sat for awhile
@@charliecadaver666 I agree with everything you say as well. I think Marvel Mystery oil even helps keeping the seals in an engine pliable. It also would not hurt if someone bought a used car that they were not sure if the oil was changed timely to run a bottle of it in an oil change and change it early I'm sure that would help clean the Rings and lifters as well. It really has a lot of uses. I would give it a five Star Plus.👍
first time I used Lucas in the engine, I started it up and the engine was so quiet and smooth, I wasn't sure it was running.... it was!! :)
I had a 90s Isuzu Rodeo with the V6 engine that developed a "tick", like they all did. Using 1 quart of Lucas with the engine oil meant that the tick went away within a minute of startup and let me drive the vehicle until rust sent it to the scrapyard.
I've used it for years. 20% of capacity and I mix it with the oil first. It's great stuff. Keeps the top end slick which is great for overhead cam's.
It also alters the viscosity and makes it flow to the top of the engine more slowly.
@@iuyozx one engineer told me that having an engine with almost honey would sound smooth and quiet but having 3 times or more wear than leaving the viscosity the manufacturer suggested. In worn engines might help of course but I am not sure if it is a good idea to add an additional honey like additive to a very carefully balanced oil or synthetic oil formula
@@tomorrowcomestoday1621 exactly. FLOW is very important, especially on a cold soaked engine. This Lucas garbage makes oil flow SLOWER. This product just keeps beaters out of the junkyard a little longer.
@@tomorrowcomestoday1621 for high mileage engine, I simply pick oil with same number but with ‘high mileage’ on the package. I don’t want to add any other thing to the oil.
@@SickMy_Duck Adding too much HM wil affect your vehicle on the long run. It's OK for a few times but non-stop will begin to cause issues (especially with modern cars having VVT. And all that electronic jazz)
I’ve used both the Stabilizer and Stop Leak with great results and have also used Lucas on a noisy power steering pump which quieted it right down!!
Did u flush or leave it in?
1st off-
Lucas has made me & saved me thousands of dollars!! Once had a Camry with a locked up steering wheel/pump? I put in the Lucas trans additive[same as steering additive] within 10 minutes of working her back & forth. She came back around & worked flawlessly!! U would have never known about her previous steering situation.. I love/stand by LUCAS 100% & will use it for life!!! I have for 20yrs now literally preached/push LUCAS to everyone & anyone, lol....Especially all my yrs as a parts counterman!! I do believe LUCAS owes me a LUCAS beer cooler or a flashy jacket or something!?! Lol...
im been using about 3/4 of a quart of lucas every oil change with my 2000 dodge dakota 3.9 v6, since i bought it almost 4 years ago with 182k miles for $500. its got 227k on it now, and has never skipped a beat, runs better now than 40k miles ago
How cum u don't put the whole quart in it
IMO, slight overkill, every oil change?
@@CinHalCedHerChance never overkill when trying to keep nice things nice
Been using it for well over 12 years not a problem in sight. All my engines ran good and long without any internal issues. On normal not broken engines like the one you have. Lucas only is post to do a few things and thats all. Recondition the seals be better lube for moving parts by reduce heating of internal parts.
I have Lucas in my Air compressor, Lawn mower, Motorcycle,4 wheeler, Boat and all my cars. I use the synthetic in all but the mower it gets conventional. Air compressor is 15 years old works good as new. It's used everyday in my shop to run impact guns, die grinder, ect. Mower is about 8 years old, runs perfect. Motor will outlast the mower i'm sure. The cars are a 07 Trailblazer with 4.2L vortec inline 6, 88 s15 4x4 with crate 4.3 HO V6, and 17 Buick Encore. Boat has 5.7L Chevy/Mercruiser V8 also use in the outdrive. Using Lucas syn. in the Trailblazer and the Buick with the 5/30 and 5/20 really quiets these engines at op. temps and 10 LBS better oil pressure in the trailblazer. 40 LBS just oil and 50 LBS with one quart of synthetic Lucas replacing one quart of the oil. Fan and fuel injectors is all you can hear with the hood up and running. Like a sewing machine.
Used Lucas in my race cars 20yrs ago. You could loss all your oil on the track and still finish the race. Still use it today. Also, Lucas Oil Speeday in Missouri is a nice dirt track.
Cool story please give more details. Hood king street did it last??
I just added 32 ounces to the fuel tank of my V10 F250. I thought you were supposed to add one ounce per gallon, but it turns out that's way too much. I ran through the entire 30-gallon tank and had to refill. I guess it is true what Lucas says about using too much will not harm the engine. The interesting thing i that I now get a bit better mileage and the truck definitely has more power. It is now easy to chirp the tires from a stop with just a little bit too much throttle. Next time I will stick with the recommended dose though.
😂 I didnt add that much but my v10 also idles much better and runs smoother after sitting for a year .
I have a pick up truck that’s almost 20 years old and have been using Lucas oil and gas treatment ever since I bought it and still runs like the first time When I bought it.👍👍
1996-1999 Nissan Maxima motor one of the best motors ever produced, even to this day. Aluminum block engine, dual overhead cams, 24 valves, 6 cylinders.
This car uses a true steel timing chain as well. Not a vinyl serpentine belt.
95 Saturn sc2 aluminum block 16v overhead cam 4 cylinder. Personally one of the funnest builders I've commuted with. Makes all the power from 3 to 6k
i have a 1999 Maxima that's my back and fourth to work car and will drive that thing until it literally won't move another foot. Been such a great car. Only thing I've done is valve cover gasket, CV joints and a radiator on top of regular maintenance. Awesome cars.
I believe the 2000 Nissan Maxima has the same engine
@@davesonowski4057 You are correct, and with 30 more HP. But, these models are heavier , and include variable valve timing, so the benefits are a trade-off.
@@bifscotsman2573 thanks for the input
I've been wrenching for 27 years now. Been using Lucas for 15 years now. I do recommend it. I use it on my personal vehicles and customers friends and family. I have never had any problems.
Lucas auto trans fluid additive saved me from a rebuild 2 years ago. My 4wd Dodge with 240,000miles wasn't shifting out of 1st gear.
One year later its still shifting fine after the treatment!
I used seafoam in mine and it helped the same way,mine wasn't fired it would just long shift at times and seafoam fixed it.
@@darknature79 Seafoam in your transmission?..
@@motov8-garage832 they make one for transmissions.
@@darknature79 O I see. Sorry just thru me off. I was like SEAFOAM😮!. Ok Cool, learned somthing new today👍. I dont stay up to date on all the new additives.
@@motov8-garage832 the tranny would long shift on 1st gear or not shift fast enough when I'd hammer down the gas and it completely fixed it.
Only about a 1/3rd of the bottle too.
I'm guessing the filter was clogged and that seafoam thinned it a little to be able to pass through the filter.
But who knows that's just my guess.
I have used several different oil additives to quiet a tapping noise in a Buick 3800V6 engine. None worked as described. Two different repair shops recommended oil additives rather than taking an interest in fixing the problem. I found a repair shop that seemed to know how to do engine work. I would not put a lot of faith in these additives, and I would never put anything this thick in my oil again. If you are having a tapping noise, or ticking noise something needs to be repaired and no magic solution is going to work for you.
I put 5 qts every oil change for a couple yrs in a 97 Chevy 5.7 and surprisingly it stopped the lifter noise. That was in 2005. Its still on the road today with regular oil changes with normal oil and no noise.
I’ve used Lucas all my life never had an issue with it
And I’m using pure Lucas on my 1995 chevy S10 cause of a oil pressure issue and I’ve been driving it for years and no problems,
The stuff is really good for your engine.
My brother has an old F150. It's a good truck but has valve noise and smokes. Both my dad and brother say that stuff is a gimmick and does nothing.
I put a quart in his truck without telling him. In the first day, the valve noise was 90% gone and it stopped smoking.
They still think it's a gimmick 🤣🤣🤣
It swells the seals .. its a temp fix as your cams will wear out faster from startups
Try using BG RF-7 which actually works.
Gear oil does the same thing, the viscosity is 110w on oil stabilizer
great for OLD engines
@@nickmalone3143 it don't wear nothing out quicker it helps stop the wear
The Lucas Transmission Stop Slip is amazing too! It made my wife's Transmission in her focus last another year after the first hard slip!
Been using the synthetic version in Minis for years, they are known for engine problems, especially the N14 , bought and sold 100s, raced them, add a tin to every oil change, never had one blow yet, added bonus, reduced the oil consumption, on which on these is notorious, to practically zero between changes, based on my experience this is an excellent product
Wouldn't the STP oil additive ( thickening agent) work the same?
Lucas stopped my lifter tick instantly in my Nissan V8. I also put some Lucas in a knocking Briggs and Stratton 160cc push mower engine that I mowed 25 lawns a week with and it kept trucking for two whole seasons with that knock before it finally died. You could still hear it but it somehow kept it running for quite awhile.
After your oil change, fill you motor one quart shy of capacity. Start motor and let reach normal operating temperature. As soon as your engine warms add your Lucas and let idle a few minutes. Your done, it's pretty easy to use but I'd never recommend adding it first to a cold motor. Love the stuff, used it for years with zero internal mechanical failures.
Yes it is good stuff I wouldn't use it unless I had a older engine because of the sludge buildup inside the engine
Been using Lucas for years.
Yesterday I did an oil change on my sons 2013 Escape.
4.3 qts of Lucas Synthetic.
I run Lucas in engines with 140 hp up to 900 hp.
Never had one fail.
I thought it was supposed to be 80/20 mix
I use Lucas in my 99 dodge 2500 cummins every oil change, the truck has 270k on it and the inside of the engine still looks like it did when it was new, Lucas when used correctly is outstanding product
My Civic loves it with a nice valve adjustment man
Yes Nathan, but while any additive can help minimally there is no additive that can make mechanical repairs.. cheers
I agree they can help but it doesn't fix a mechanical problem. But in some cases it may be the only option economically.
@@NATESINTERACTIVEAUTO False economy
@@manuelstarr3602 nope. Not when driving a beater car.
Stabilizer not repairer.
@@michaelatkins9780 doesn't stabilize oil when it's already been stabilized with additives and testing from actual engineers lol. Lucas is a trash product and has been for years. It takes money from desperate people and from fools who think it actually does something.
I have been putting the Lucas oil additive in all my vehicles around the 20% recommended level for years now. Both my dailys have 305k and 375k miles respectively (second is an old diesel) on them and they both run excellent with high compression and virtually no oil burning (nether have ever been rebuilt either) ... this stuff just works...
Lucas has climbing agents in it and helps maintain a lube film for cold starts, as well as helping for bearings with excessive clearance. I've used is since it came out back when I was racing. It works great in clutchless differentials and gearboxs, as well as a break in lube for flat tappet cams (used with MolyDislufide paste on the cam). Remember the Lucas plastic hand cranked gear train display on the speed shop/parts counters? (and the PC-7 coke bottle with the drain stopper etc all stuck to it - unrelated, but the Lucas demonstrator made me think of it).
I'm a long term Lucas user, but I also can tell you NOTHING can fix worn out parts but replacement/repair. Sometimes we're happy just to stretch the life of a worn out motor or gearbox, and Lucas shines there. It's also worth adding as an additive in recommended quantities, as a previously mentioned dry start aid.
Thanks for the good video. Hope your Twin cam Nissan is rebuilt and running strong, or at least is in progress.
😎✊🏾⭐️ I’ve been using that for over 25 years all my cars and motorcycle anything with a motor
Used it a couple of times. Instantly made oil consumption worse. I did put their tranny stabilizer stop leak in a car. It would leak enough fluid out front seal over night you'd have to ad to even go anywhere. It stopped it pretty much insanity. I never drove that car it just sat around mostly but never had to ad fluid again, . The 2 trucks I put the trans stuff in though never wanted to shift right below 45 degrees out. So I won't use any of the stuff again
I use the fuel additive in my 05 ram Cummins. I never fill up with out it. I’m certain that it has mitigated injector wear, injector pump issues and lubes the top end. It works!
Same thing with my 6.4 powerstroke, definitely helps improve across the board everything
I’ve used Lucas oil stabilizer in my cars I’ve never had an issue with it. I stand by it.
I have a 2014 Subaru Forester, you know the kind that burns a quart of oil between every oil change. I add the synthetic Lucas with it now, no more oil loss, also alot less lifter noise. I believe completely in the products.
I also have a 5.4 3 valve F150, I put it in there too in hopes I can get the original engine to 200K.
Change your oil and filter every 3,000 miles and this won't happen.
Yes you’re right
I've owned a couple of those engines and as I watched I didn't think the motor was burning up. Good residual lube and you kept the coolant flowing right?
Also it sounded like timing chain rattle and with an oil pressure regulated timing chain tensioner not having any oil pressure it would definitely be making chain noise.
And last it makes me happy seeing you still use it. I've owned 4 Maxima's and cared for them like a kid or gf and have almost nothing bad to say about em. I'd like to think I memorized stuff technical in nature of them but even if I did 😴 wow 181 horsepower isn't that awesome to talk about but fun to drive!
Nice video!
When your gas engine sounds like a diesel....you might have a bigger problem...more than a few oz in a modern engine is a no no.
Yeah when its this worn out there isn't much hope. But I don't use much of the Lucas oil stabilizer in my newer vehicle especially in winter. Just a few ounces.
I have been using Lucas Oil products in my personal vehicles and my farm, lawn and garden equipment. I have put over 200,000+ miles on my vehicles and have long hours on our other equipment. The problems that I usually have with my vehicles are usually from non-mechanical problems like sensors, computers, etc, and normal wear parts.
I’ve been using Lucas for the past 20 years on my semi trucks in the engines rear ends in transmissions two of my trucks have over 2,000,000 miles on them I swear by Lucas that stuff is truly a miracle
In the old days we used STP oil treatment then Barr's motor honey in the 90's it was hi-tach then came Lucas oil stabilizer. My 1980 Olds Rocket 350 still runs like new after 400 K plus miles !

Yes Lucas is great product I tried the transmission fix on tranny worked great slip went away thanx for the video
I use Lucas injector cleaner all the time in my diesel truck better accelerates and mileage. I only have 60k miles on my truck and it’s a Cummins. At about what interval would you use this on a high mileage truck? 100k and up? Do you mix it with rotella or valvoline?
I put some in my rear diff, ford rgr, its worn & howling, it seems to have eased the howl but it didn't fix worn parts . Water & silt got in there, I drove w it contaminated & bad grey mucky stuff came out , it's now 85w/140 gear oil & maybe 1/3 of what's in there is stabilizer

@@mujjuman No problem. If you're oil pressure is 15psi or below, you should replace the oil pickup tube o ring.

Lucas is the reason my 02 f150 has 380,900 miles on it
I just used some lucus power steering fix and it was an amazing night and day difference. My power steering feels like it's all new.
I've used Lucas with Zmax Engine/Fuel/Transmission and Royal Purple Synthetics and have had no issues. I'm coming from 20+ years as a mechanic and if anything, it has saved my customers' engines. Had a customer with a valve cover leak, the engine ran out of oil BUT because they used Lucas, ZMax and Royal Purple, the engine didn't fail and there was no damage to the lifters, pistons, piston rings, bearings, etc. I stand by these brands, they truly are the best on the market. And Zmax is not an additive, it heats with the block and as it cools it coats the metals in the smalled areas, thus, creating a friction barrier.
Personal experience: if you make short trips the Lucas with congeal into a sludge under the valve covers, then the valve stem guides will wear out, and you get smoke everywhere!!!
I've never used it in my personal vehicles but I've used it in the shop plenty of times😏it works to an extent but it's not a mechanical fix😎
Ive been using Lucas additive since 1982 in all my vehicles. if I dod a oil change , I add Lucas religiously everyX. I swear by it. ty for you r video content.
It’s so slick it helped my constipation issue!
I use it every oil change. Synthetic version.
This is by definition a scientific experiment..
👍
I use it almost every day. And i usually use it as an assembly lube whenever i rebuild an engine
If your goal was specifically to blow up a motor and do an experiment in the process then you did a great job. It was never going to "save" the engine but I am surprised at how quiet it was with the system full of Lucas
I use a quart I’m all 4 of my vehicles every 3000 mile oil change with royal purple. 91 3000gt 3.0 250k original engine. 02 suburban 2500 8.1 210k. 14 challenger rt and 13 Durango rt. No issues I get 6+ oil psi with Lucas verses with out
Those Mopars likely have variable displacement oil pumps. You’re working against the engineering when you add thickeners.
I'm a lifelong mechanic and trust Lucas. The only fixes in a can I've found are Chevron Techron n Seafoam.
What are your opinions on Marvels mystery oil !?
@@robfalkner4303 Some people would say it's just a variation on transmission fluid. I have used it for fuel system health, I've never put it into an engine or transmission. I've also used it as a lubricant for hinges and key locks. Now I mainly use silicone spray for those purposes. I haven't seen any evidence as to its longevity or usefulness but I can't say anything bad about it either except that it stinks.
I'm calling you a Lucas rep or troll!!!
Any self-respecting mechanic would not ever recommend an oil additive instead of a mechanic. Jeezus maybe.

Help, I have a gm 2.4 Terrain, suv runs perfect, no odd sounds, but it stalls after starting, wait 15 secs, stall, restart all is perfect. I replaced many parts, vvt, plugs, filters, tb, maf, etc. Seen video to add bardahl no smoke which is thick like Lucas. In over a year the Terrain never stalled once, I did oil change with 5w30 and stall started again, next day I added 6 Oz of the no smoke(oil thickener) zero stalls again. Just trying to pinpoint why a thicker oil stops initial stall, any help is appreciated.
Does Lucas Seal The Valve Gasket?
I have a 2010 BMW 5 series. I bought it at 64k miles. it know has 221k miles I used Lucas with every oil change and the engine is still strong
How about your transmission? What did you do to keep it running till over 200k miles? Curious. I have an E60 im getting back in shape
@@DFWAuto_Hack I never did anything with the transmission until recently, and I'm talking about with in the last 2 months the car has 240k miles on it now, and the transmission pan got a crack and started to leak. I was afraid that once I fix the pan and change the fluid it would start slipping. So I saved as much of the old fluid as I could to put back in once I fixed the pan. So far so good no issues yet with the transmission. But I will say this I have a 528I with no x drive. So no turbo and no all wheel drive system.
@@thall100k ive heard the 528I is reliable compared to others. The one i have is a 528I as well but i think the previous owner abused it. I did the valve cover gasket but it has a limp mode on 3rd gear so i parked it. It has been 2 years now & im ready to attempt to fix it. I got ZF oil, oil pan with integrated filter, all the solenoids & the 5 mechatronic sleeves. If that does not fix it, ill quit lol. I did the valve cover gaskets & oil change with 5w40 liquimolly
@@DFWAuto_Hack I had to replace my valve cover gasket and the valve cover itself they are plastic and mine cracked and was leaking oil really bad. Before you do all that to the transmission try looking into the crank position sensor, mine went bad once and the car was throwing transmission errors and I thought I needed a new transmission. Turned out I replaced that sensor for less than 200 bucks and had no problems anymore. Transmission ran fine!
@@thall100k wow what a valuable info you give me there? But did you have a crank sensor code on top of the transmission code? Or just the t rans code?
I have used 1qt for my 5at grand marquis for 30k miles. Runs like new with 130k on'er.
15yrs using Lucas never let my customers down
I put that Lucas in my Kia Sorrento 2011 188,000 miles that had a ticking noise and it pretty much stopped the ticking and my car ran like it had a lot of pressure on the engine for about a week. Then it let out a large cloud of exhaust one time and the engine has been fine ever since. The ticking has quieted way down almost can’t hear it. So that Lucas does work. 👍🏾
Looks to be the same as STP oil treatment. The viscosity is too thick to allow it to flow into the smallest holes, so the parts will still make noise.
With 212,000 miles on my 2001 Ford Explorer, I never once put an oil additive into the oil. I simply changed oil an average of every 5,000 miles. It uses 1/8 quart of oil between oil changes of 5W30. Also changed the ATF, transfer case, power steering, brake fluid, and differential oil every 50,000 to 60,000 miles. Did have to replace the differential limited slip clutch packs recently. Replaced the water pump and radiator at about 180,000 miles, and the alternator at about 195,000 miles No problems since then. It is a trouble free vehicle. No additives in anything except the differential clutch pack required additive.
It's hard to figure how engines wear. A buddy has a Ford 4.9 F150 that he bought at 250k miles with no issues, and it now blows oil out the top end like crazy. Reason being, the previous owner drove it super easy, my friend likes burnouts. My dad, who never changes oil, has a truck with 420k hard miles on it. But it's a 7.3, and those don't die easy.
The timing chains on those SOHC 4.0 V6 are usually troublesome, and it's a bitch to change the rear chain. Glad you haven't had any issues 🤟

I use lucas in multipal engines,I have a 72 C10 with the original 350 (never rebuilt but its almost time) & uses no oil outside of a valve stem seal I replaced. 2005 Wrangler (rural mail carrier) 4.0 I add 1 at every change, I also use it in a 88 D100 3.9 magnum I'm planning on doing a 5.7 hemi swap. The Jeep is high millage from being on the route but it runs pretty good.
Im a Lucas oil additive user. I recommend for older vehicles it made my old suv quieter and more efficient and a bit more Hpower.
I use it in both of my Subaru vehicles. Boxer engine's usually use oil because of the design. Lucas has just about eliminated the oil usage completely.
Same here, I would use it in my prelude at the time which burned oil. Of course it didn't stop it but it slowed it down alot, good product overall
I have a 2019 Wrx with a small oil leak, I just got a oil change done about 10 days ago can I just add the Lucas ?
@@steventobias7655 do ur regular oil change but maybe put like a half qaurt less then normal, and either put in the Lucas oil first or last whatever u wanna do. Just leave a little room for the bottle ur about to add.
@@steventobias7655 but to be honest idk, I feel like the oil is still gonna leak the same. At least in my head Lucas is better for oil burn off, like at the time I needed to replace the piston rings. Either way it's a good additive and doesn't hurt to try it.
@@steventobias7655 just add a little bit at a time to it
It’s always great to try everything before tearing an engine apart or taking it out. In my experience this stabilizer is way too thick for an engine that has variable valve or variable timing , it only makes the car run really bad because those valve are not designed for heavy oil. 5 30 is already thick enough for those engines
That's a lie pal
@@wildestcowboy2668 ok buddy?
Scotty Kilmer advises against thick Lucas additive if car has hydraulic lifters.
@@rustypotatos thicker oil never harmed anyone except for fuel consumption
@@Godofhel1 have you seen what it does to vvti solenoids
I used two gallons of Lucas per oil change in a 2004 Detroit Diesel. I sold the truck with 972,000 miles on it and it used no oil between changes. Lucas is good stuff.
I bought a 2001 Dodge ram with the 5.9 360 gas motor many years ago. It had just over 100k when I bought it. I changed the oil usually around 4,000 mile intervals no more than 5k. I religiously use the Lucas oil stabilizer at every single oil change. I would also disconnect the wiring harness off the spark igniter if it hadn’t ran in a couple days and crank the starter until it indicated pressure on the dash gauge to avoid dry starts. It’s now at 340,000 (approx) miles on the motor and still runs great. The idle oil pressure is right around 50 (approx) on the dash gauge. I really do believe the motor has lasted this long secondary to the Lucas oil stabilizer. Can’t prove it but I am a huge fan of it
It's a Nissan it came from the factory that way......But it burns oil.....No problem did this on day one.
Thats a vq30 engine for you! Best engine nissan ever produced.
Haha! Yea anything after the RB or SR is a trash can disguised as an engine.
You mean vg30
It's up there but I'd say the hand built R35 TT V6 is the best.
Nissan made several great engines.
@@jjohnson9707 No he is correct. That engine is a VQ30. The VG30 is a SOHC engine.
I have a 2007 cadillac dts v8 Northstar 4.6 which lucas should i use if my engine is leaking its low on oil so im gonna add some synthetic oil then lucas i know theres a couple and any tips on how to do it
My families race shop has been using pure synthetic for decades in our race engines and own engines .the main reason we use it is at the highest point of wear startup if you touched the oil it's thick and kind of tacky that tackyness is what helps engines on startup most oil after a few hours after shutoff drains back to the pan .the Lucas leaves a film on engine parts thus protecting those parts during the crucial few seconds the engine builds pressure .
I have a 2013 suburban that has a 5.3 V8 and I’ve added that stuff from day one. I hope I get more then the normal 200,000 miles out of it.
Follow manufacturer's recommendations and im sure you will.
@@Beardman56 what year is yours? From what I understand the 5.3 in the 2013 is only based on the LS and has the displacement on demand system. I have the D.O.D disabled. I constantly look for a way to care for it to last as long as possible.
@@Beardman56 the 5.3 before 07 was built very well.
@@Beardman56 they don’t make them like they used to
I have a 1999 with the 5.3 and 174k on odometer but probably really around 228k (not sure, instrument cluster wasn't working when I got it) but it runs like a champ,but burns about a quart of oil in between oil changes. I towed my wife's car on a trailer from Chicago to Jackson Ms and it ran like a champ. Now 10 months & 7,000 miles later I've only had to replace, spark plugs, the alternator, a few fuses, thermostat, coolant tank ( old one was Nasty), blend door actuator, rear brakes, a rotor, and a brake fluid line. Thank God no serious engine problems.
Bro your engine was already on its way out. 😆 I have been using this product for over a decade and never blown an engine.
how much Lucas Stabilizer oil do you recommend using if you had to do it again?
Bought a twin turbo bmw and had no clue what I bought. It started smoking when I got home. My mechanic put Lucas in the engine and boy did that help with the smoking. I am a believer, but of course want to fix the problem eventually. This stuff does what it saids.
I've only ever used Lucas oil stabiliser in in-line 4's. In all of their variants, from 2 valves per pot to 4 valves per pot plus vvt and even french 1.6 meganes, I can honestly say i have NEVER had a problem.
why inline 4 only that makes no sense
@@kinghados Hello, it's nothing more than personal experience. Inline 4's just happen to be the vast majority of engines we see here.
Used properly in a higher mileage engine lucas oil additive is very good stuff.

I have never used Lucas but from experience it has the same viscosity as STP, and that stuff worked, so using Lucas oil products would be just as good.
I have a 1991 Volvo 740 Turbo with horrible piston slap and some engine knock I use Castrol Edge 10w30 Synthetic & add Lucas Synthetic oil stabilizer each oil change helps a bit. Haven't got very high km on 281,000km. I ran the engine low on oil for a short time as it has bad oil leaks. And was on a road trip. I checked it every few hours but that wasn't offered enough! Going to be doing engine swap same B230FT engine just newer block with squirters.
Your engine was already done, and I'm pretty sure you knew that lol, so this is for others wandering if they should use lucas. Now Ive heard people say it helps rod knock, but i dont think so.. thats because lucas helps noises like valve ticks which are usually caused by things sticking, not unusual wear. Rod knock is essentially broken engine slapping its core around. Lucas is meant to keep a semi permanent lubrication of the entire engine even when its been sitting for a while and the oil drains down to the bottom. Side note, If you have a vehicle that has that engine stop tech or is a hybrid, USE LUCAS OIL FOR THE LOVE OF GOD. I promise it will make any engine last longer, but those kinds will last FAR longer than their averages. You should also use this especially if you live in cold areas.
I put some in my 2001 ford focus zetec. It runs smoother. I also used seafoam to clean it out for about a week. It went from dark brown to almost black so fast it cleaned alot of deposits I would recommend both of them when changing oil.
Oil filters only hold an ounce of trash.
You just defeated the filter entirely.
Bypass valve in filter opened up and your engine is regurgitating all of the trapped particulates. Nice job
@@ayebee1207 yea I suppose what you said is why the engine is running smoother now? quit falling for the idea that you dont need additives in an engine. a lot of them work great.
can I use "Lucas Oil 10001" for the engine, gearbox (manual switch) and differential gearbox?
How much do I have to add lucas oil? Assuming the engine has 6.5 L of oil, the gearbox has 1.2 L and the differential has 1 L.
Used this on my car that has 200k miles engine runs super smooth
Useful on older worn engines. Most lubricants have additives that bond to the metal, so most oils will do the same thing when drained.
not for long they wont.
So you created a video to show off a product that supposedly saves engines yet you're engine was already screwed and Lucas did absolutely nothing?
Look like you didn't understand the concept here, Lucas didn't fix the knock, but when you run a engine without oil it will seize in an average of 5-10 minute some even less. In this case Lucas did really well and the engine never seize. I use Lucas for many years, my dad did before i was even born and the stuff work. It give all your internal part extra and steady lubrication.
Lucas makes good products. Been using their Hotrod and break in oil for years. Never had a problem.
