Do we have any VOA's on LUCAS Oil Stabilizer in the history/search on BITOG?
I've looked and can't find any. I do remember BOB's original post of how it FOAMS UP when agitated.
All their fuel treatment is is upper cylinder lube. Mostly useless.I use this stuff fairly often. https://lucasoil.com/products/fuel-treatments/lucas-fuel-treatment
I wouldn’t have a problem using any of their other fuel additives.
I don't see any evidence the UCL has those compounds.Lucas Deep Clean is a PEA based cleaner. It is very good. Lucas UCL has polyisobutylene (PIB) and polyisobutylene succinic anhydride (PIBSA). Both compounds are dispersants and detergents. I use both products.
Exactly.Lucas Oil is mostly marketing with very little R&D. They use a massive marketing campaign to sell their products instead of making a quality product that can sell itself. They know that 98% of the population couldn't you the difference between engine oil and olive oil, and they make bank on that... which is why they will never get a penny from me.
"Never seen issues" is not a preponderance of proof. It is not a profession of merit for the product, simply an anecdote that it has not caused harm. That is setting the bar extremely low.I know there hasnt been a post in a while, but I want to add my $.02.
Everyone has their own opinions on any products. You will see lovers and haters for all of them. I just know that I have been running the HDOS for the last 5 years year-round and have never seen issues. This oil change I did just a week ago included a quart of the PSOS that I am going to use during the winters now. I buy it in the gallon jugs online. Works out to be cheaper that way. Ive heard from mechanics who have worked on the inside of engines where either stabilizer was used, and it really does cling to the internals like it is said to. The parts are often so slick that it is difficult to hang on to them. I say use it. Or dont. That is up to the person. Dont let the haters get to you.
Regular oil clings to engine parts just as easily. I just don't see the point of using an additive free thickener with no winter rating when things like 5w50 or even 10w60 exist.I know there hasnt been a post in a while, but I want to add my $.02.

I'd not paint that generalization with so broad a brush. There was a thread here a while back about additive use, and many members jumped in with what they used.Most people here hate any kind of additives to begin with. So most additive companies get no love.
Lucas is no different.
I just gave you another one for dwelling on it...Nothing to get your knickers all wadded up over.I'd not paint that generalization with so broad a brush. There was a thread here a while back about additive use, and many members jumped in with what they used.
List an oil Additive you'd use / No Comments
I Thought it'd be fun to list Oil Additives you trust and would use or have used. No other comments please. I'll go first. Lubro Moly Engine Oil Saverbobistheoilguy.com
One or two people (including you!) gave me a sad face when I mentioned that I don't use additives.
I haven't used additives in decades . Never owned a vehicle that burned oil or had a mechanical failure of the engine .I'd not paint that generalization with so broad a brush. There was a thread here a while back about additive use, and many members jumped in with what they used.
