I was wondering if anyone uses lucas oil treatment in thier 914, I have been thinking about using it, but I don't know if it is too thick, and minght starve the engine of oil, leading to overheating. So does any one know if it is ok to use say like a quart of this in my oil?

I agree with the opinion that additives are not necessary. How many auto manufacturers recommend they be used in their engines? (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/idea.gif)
But, having said that, I will admit that I used an additive named CDC in my 92 4-cylinder Nissan pickup, with 165,000 miles, for a few years. The engine had developed a mild clatter when cold which I guessed may have been a lifter. The CDC additive claimed to free-up hydraulic lifters so I gave it a try and it seemed to work.
