    I have used 25% Lucas Oil Additive in my 2001 7.3 diesel for over 300,000 miles. The truck currently has just over 400,000 miles. I recently had some repairs made to the truck and as part of the service the shop changed the oil. I knew when I picked it up that something was different. The engine was significantly louder to the point I could hear a couple of lifter clattering. When I got back to home base, I'm a full time RVer, I drained the oil and added a gallon of Lucas to 3 gallons of slightly used oil back to the truck. Sound dropped down to what I expected. I did have the oil tested and the primary concern from the lab was the increased viscosity of the oil. Since the 7.3 uses a high pressure oil pump for the hydraulic lifters I don't think the increased viscosity is that much of an issue. Well it hasn't been for the past 300,000 miles anyway. ;-)

    Great, video, Scotty! I couldn't agree more. Everything you said here is 100% spot-on. I'm ashamed to admit that years ago, when I was a stupid kid, I put a thick oil conditioner in a Lexus I had. Hydraulic everything. It didn't kill the motor, but the timing belt went out not long after that. Probably unrelated, but I still shudder to think about how stupid that was. Stupid is as stupid does.

Bonus. fabulous but not magnificent, but another bonus, fuel consumption goes down. Currently my 2001 Chrysler TC Ltd averages always 29-35 mpg highway and 16 mpg + city. What the heck, some 2019 van/trucks can't get that.. Zinga!! One day crossing from Calgary Alberta to Moosejaw Saskatchewan the old girl got 40 Mpg in that 700 km journey. Common now since then.

    Good advise Scotty, here another that has worked for me. Next time you run into a high mileage manual trans that is noisy, especially if it uses ATF for lube like a T5, change the oil and refill with a 10 wt. tractor/transmission oil compatible with wet brakes like HyTran. the heavier weight oil gives more cushion, it contains friction modifiers for high loads and will not effect any composite linings for the synchro's or whatever. I've used it in many vehicles from S10's to Mustangs with great success. Looks like a little STP shouldn't hurt either.

    Thank you for the great videos. I have watched two or three dozen. I drive mostly freeway, and a little around town (Las Vegas, NV). Like you said, constant driving is ten times better than 'stop and go' driving. But I got a little carried away with specialty oils after the first 100,000 miles of using the recommended oil in my 2002 GMC Envoy. I changed it every 3000 miles. But from 100K to 150K miles I used synthetic blends, only changing it every 8,000 - 10,000 miles. And now that I'm over 215,000 miles, I'm using full synthetic oil, with a can of "Restore' and I've been going 12,000-15,000 miles between oil changes. I use the Lucas gas treatment with the better additive grades of gas, and I haven't changed my fuel filter since 50,000 miles. But in my new Dodge (I know, I know), I talked the dealer down from $43K to $19K, back in 2008, right after the economy tanked, and I only have 42,000 miles on it. I baby that truck for city deliveries and I use regular fuel, synthetic blend at the recommended viscosity and oil changes every 5,000 - 8,000 miles, depending on the weather, roads and amount of longer distance drives.

    That's right change the oil frequently, a mid range oil changed at 5000 is much better than an expensive one at 10000, and spray the bottom of your car every year with oil when dry in summer just to bulid up a layer of rust prevention. Plus bolts don't then seize up on you. Cheers

    Expensive oils have better cleaning and lubrication properties in extreme conditions than mid range. Low quality oils break down or tear off easily that is their ability to form film of oil to avoid metal contact is lost when engine runs in hot conditions plus they shear much earlier.

    Most modern cars are constructed with very tight machining tolerances, and can take advantage of lubricants that have a thinner film at both cold and hot engine temperatures. Modern oil viscosity at 100C is 8.9 cenistoke’s cSt. Anything 8 cSt or above till lubricate well The Lucas Heavy Duty oil stabilizer is 110 cSt @ 100C, that is going to cause your oil pump to move a diluted oil that is several times its operational design pressure. The designations on your oil container indicate two operational conditions (cold and 100C or hot) Therefore, a 5W30, will have the thickness of a 5 weight oil when it’s cold and a 20 weight oil when it’s hot. @ 40C (104F) it will have a viscosity of 60 cSt @ 100C (212F) operating temperature, it will have a viscosity of 9-12 cSt @ -30 ( -22F) it will have a viscosity of less than 6600 cSt Yes most oil pumps can withstand a viscosity of 110 cSt, however, this will cause a loss in fuel economy, and will not repair most oil burning causes (worn piston rings, and or worn valve seals, and or stuck PCV). A thick sSt can account somewhat for worn internal engine mechanicals So adding an oil additive which has a viscosity of 110 cSt at 100C, can be very problematic, as it raises the cSt for both cold and hot engine operating conditions. As Scotty has indicated, it should never be used in engines with VVT, as the viscosity will be so high that the VVT assembly simply may not work, or it might become damaged.
