Default anyone have tried this LUCAS?

hi guys, i have used this oil stabilizer for my FX45 suv for year, and i would say it works great, very smooth cold start. and never had a problem. so i plan to add a bottle of this oil stabilizer in my next oil change.
anyone here have tried this for our 996 engine?

I've read some tests that did not show Lucas products to be very good. I've never heard of synthetic oil stabilizer before, what exactly is "lubricity"?

Lucas has kept my jeep alive for the last 4 years. But, 996 motors need real thin oil to keep the lifters from sticking...thus the switch to the new lower weight oils. And lucas is like watered down tar, so I don't think it would jive well with our motors.

A synonym for strategery maybe?

I think you will find it right under "Corinthian leather" in explanations

Definitions of lubricity on the Web:

prurience: feeling morbid sexual desire or a propensity to lewdness
smooth and glassy; slippery; lewd, wanton, salacious or lecherous


everything I want in an oil
