Damn...this oil thread has ended up just like every other oil thread. "My oil can beat up your oil". Who gives a sh!t?
The "best" oil is the one you're comfortable with. If you want to buy an $8 quart of oil, that's cool. But the person buying the Wal-Mart $1.99 special will be just fine using that as well. Any modern oil changed within a 5K interval will protect our engines just fine. Good info ---> http://www.bobistheoilguy.com/forums/ubbthreads.php Last edited by Billiam; 06-12-2010 at 11:22 AM. |

Who's frowning? It's just a frivolous expenditure that's really interesting to someone with a hobby interest in oil, like the posters over there. I'm very interested in the technical details of oils and lubrication myself. I've read whole textbooks on the subject and much of what's available online, and frequently lurk at Bob's forum. I'm just being the cranky SOB pointing out that it's unnecessary. There's got to be a devil's advocate or every poor soul who asks a question on oil will come away with the silly idea that synthetics are a panacea and that their Yaris probably won't make it across town without an engine rebuild on "dino" oil. But if you need something to obsess on, there are worse things to obsess over than oil.

This may be better for a new thread, but does anyone have any thoughts on using an oil stabilizer (like Lucas Oil)?
I've never bothered, but some people like to replace 1 quart of oil with Lucas Oil. I know that if you have an automatic tranny that's slipping, this stuff works pretty well, but I've never put any in my engine.

I wouldn't use a full qt, probably just 1 pint, and I'd use the synthetic Lucas oil additive if I used any, because it totally owns the regular stabilizer ...just kidding, but I wouldn't use their regular oil additive just because it's too thick.
I use their product a lot in p/s systems that are noisy and/or leaking. |

Oh yeah, we should be able to discuss things like this in a civil manner.

I was just curious if anyone tried it.
A friend's Ford Ranger was slipping bad and I told him to try some in his tranny, and it fixed it right up. I think that was like 2-3 years ago, and he hasn't touched the tranny since. Plus has anyone seen that little Lucas Oil display thingy that they have inside some mechanics shops? It has 2 sides. One side is regular oil. The other side with Lucas Oil. Both sides have a set of gears with little hand cranks. You crank both sides and you watch *miraculously* as the liquid on the Lucas Oil side "climbs" up the gears. Ooooh. Impressive. Well not really ... but I've still wondered if it works well in engines.
