Question:

Is Lucas Oil additive worth the money?

I am thinking of adding this to the oil of my classic corvette and wondered if it is worth the money. I see it advertised on different venues and have never used the product.

Answer:

I've started using Lucas synthetic additive in my air cooled 600cc dirtbike and it's lowered the operating temp. by 25%!!!!!! That's great and a true testament that it lowering the coefficient of friction substantually!!!! I'm extremey pleased with it b/c I know my bike runs really hot. It also has a sticky effect with metal parts so you know that your protected better with this stuff than just oil alone on cold start-up. I don't know about the other products Lucas has, but I know the pure synthetic oil additive passes the test with flying colors.great stuff. Additional details: pbleek's link is a complete farce I think. My oil is always crystal clear and I ride'r hard and fast. He's probably using too much with his little spinning clock gear test 20% maximum 10% with a wet clutch. Don't beleive everything you see on the the super computer highway.
Lucas makes good products and I have used the transmission fix with great sucess but really any engine additive is a waste of money in my book, if you want more protection I would use a synthetic oil like mobil 1.
I don't know about the oil but the quick oil change place talked my wife into using Lucas transmission additive in our perfectly good Mazda6.In a short while the 1-2 shift started to become very hard.It hits so hard in normal driving you'd think the axles were going to break.I would be careful about what is going into that Corvette.There might be unintended consequences.
