yeah my auto teacher said don't use oil additives cuz they don't do much. I see that lucas stuff at kragen and they have neat littke gear crank thing and you can see how the oil bonds to the gears. But all lucas really is an oil thickener. It's probably better on old engine I guess that the parts are all lose and worn but I wouldn't put that stuff in my eclipse.
if you have one of those lucas displays at your local kragen turn both wheels at once also and notice how the one with the lucas additive looks like it bonds better but also notice that its harder to turn, because its harder to turn because its THICKER you lose horsepower. so just put whatever the manufacturer recommends, I just tore my 420A apart after putting castrol GTX 10w-40 in it so far and everything was sqeaky clean.
I've opened engines where they were abused like they never changed the oil it was all black and sludgy. I think this is what wears engines the most not changing your oil on its regular intervals.

Their is one of those crank gear displays at my local autoparts store and one of my friends that works there called Lucus and told them that it fell and broke and that he was comcerned about the chemicals being hazardous. I can't believe they fell for it cause it's an autoparts store for fuck sake, but they said not to worry cause it's just vegetable oil in the display. I never used that shit but after that I knew that I never would. If they can't even put their own product in their displays, then I say thats proof of bullshit!
