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?

Well lets not get our cart before our horse here fellas.....remember major mfg also sell repair parts!!!
I would say that it depends on how old is the technology is that you are using. In that I mean if your still using single grade oil, a multi grade oil would be a step in the right direction. Now for Lucas, slick 50, teflon and others I think that for the most part they offer SOME good ideas but for the most part are simple snake oil. But stop and think about Cyro- hard engine parts and diffs NASCAR and others use , I'm sure the big 3 would not implement the technology due to cost, but it would save a bunch of engines and drivetrains. BTW I use STP engine treatment for engine assembly and nothing else. What about silicone impregnated engine bearings? They last 2x as long as normal bearings. Just dont anything for granted,they want to sell product. |
