Is this stuff okay? I have seen it around and have tried it as well. Seems to make her run quieter. Any comments?

In some tests I've seen it causes the oil to foam. You don't need any additive in the oil, just use top qualiy oils rated for your truck/car.The oil manufacture put in all the additives you need when they made the oil.

Seems to work fine I have run it more in my wifes gasser sub than my DMAX. I am currently using primrose 405C in the DMAX.

My question pertains to fuel not oil! I dont add anything to my oil. Thanks

oooops!

I was talking fuel blnagel. My last fuel filter change I went to the Primrose to emulsify the water in the fuel. I had a big rust spot in the bottom of the CAT and rust in the stock filter too. I have run the Lucas and I know many people who like it. My buddy claims he gets better MPG with it. My wifes 2000 Sub. is rough styarting and the tech's thought it was sticking injectors. Since the lucas is for diesel or gas I ran a heavy dose of it in the sub and it seemed to help.

I know. Thanks for your input. So I take it Lucas conglomerates the water like Stanadyne does?
Thanks

I just checked the bottle of Lucas I have out in the garage. It doesn't saya thing about what it does with water. Might be a good idea to give Lucas a call on that one. I am guessing that since it doesn't say what it does with water in the fuel that it may just be a straight lubricant.

I've run it and still have about a half gallon in the garage the only reason I stopped was because of the cold weather we were having in December and January down below zero and when I went to treat the fuel it would hardly flow so I'll wait til the spring. The price is ok $17.00 per gallon at a local parts store

I was at the auto parts store today and looked at a bottle of Lucas, it did not say that it did not contain alcohol, as GM states not to use any thing that has alcohol in it as it's bad for the seals in the injectors. Not sure if it has or not so I put it back on the shelf.

I was useing Rotella DFA and the place I was getting it stopped carrying it. Just so happens Power Service changed their label recently to include information about alcohol and warrantees. I have been using it for a while and I can hear a difference without an additive, if nothing else I use it for lubrication and a little centane boost.

Hey there, newbie on board...
My father has the 2004 6.6 Duramax in his truck and I recently gave him some to try. He's stuck on it now. It doesn quiet the motor a bit. As for mileage?? Not so much, as the truck is still fairly new.
I use it in my car (2.5L SE-R) and noticed a slight fuel mileage improvment. This stuff is great. It won't harm your injectors, if anything, it will help prolong their life. My father has also nioticed that the truck doesn't emit much black soot either. It sems that it's clean burn additives are working as intended.

I got off the phone with Lucas and their fuel lubricant is 100% petroleum base! They said it is safe to use in our trucks. Thought I would pass this on.

Like I posted before is my concern about how it flows (or how it doesn't flow) when cold I put it in dry used 12oz water bottles for easy carrying and 2 days ago I open the fuel tank and turned the bottle upside down and did my credit card and when the card reader was done the bottle was still full I had to sqeeze it to get it to come out and the outside temp was about 28 degrees F. I'm sure it breaks down with the fuel but at extreme cold I'm not to sure.

Yea I know...for Fuel but I use it in my oil, I also use royal purple oil and have 55,000. I have run RP since it was born and have just recently started using the Lucas oil additive. I live in Michigan and I do notice it turns over faster when it is cold and cant really tell if I have increased my mileage because of winter of course. I do use the Stanodyne fuel additive all season, Junior in summer and regular in colder months, increased fuel mileage by 2 mph (on a good day). I work for a company having 80 diesels and we have added this product to our underground fuel tank because we were blowing fuel pumps (FORD) and since this Stanodyne additive, we havnt blown a single pump up! Good enough for me! I wouldnt have believed it myself but I know this for fact. Betcha Stanodyne could use this for advertisement, Hugh!

Lucas makes a version for winter use for temps where fuel gelling is a concern. 0F and below. There is a light anti-gel additive included. I've never had any trouble with using Lucas down to 5F. Of course I don't leave it in my car, I keep it warm until I can mix it with the fuel. This ensures a proper mix.
