Default Lucas Oil Help...

I'm Trying To Find The Link Or Thread That I Thought I Saw On The Forum Regarding Lucas Oil Treatment.

There Was A Link To Another Site - Where They Show How Lucas Oil Makes The Oil Foam And Break Down. Basically After Visiting This Site, You'll Never Put That Stuff In Any Vehicle You Own, Especially Your Vette.

The Reason I'm Looking For This Link Is Because One Of My Mechanics (not The One Who Works On My Vette) Had Suggested Putting That Stuff In My Cadillac, I Told Him About The Link And He's Very Interested In It - As He Likes To Put Lucas In Everything.

I Told Him There's No Way He'll Put That In My Car After Seeing The Link.

Thanks In Advance For Any Help!

- JUST FOR THE RECORD... MY VETTE MOTOR ONLY DRINKS PREMIUM GASOLINE AND MOBIL 1 SYNTHETIC, AND JUST FOR THE RECORD... 211,000 MILES AND STILL RUNS 12's

NEVER MIND! AFTER SEARCHING THE WEB, I FOUND THE LINK... HERE IT IS!
http://bobistheoilguy.com/images/lucas/lucas.htm

After you visit this site - you'll probably never use Lucas again

Do a search on LUCAS OIL and you come up with some threads that will lead you to the Bob the oil guy site you are looking for. I specifically sent LUCAS OIL a question on this site and this is theirresponse. I use Lucas in all my cars as needed. For my vette I tend to stick with Mobil 1 SYN for the engine oil, but I do use other lucas additives for PS, Tranny.

Here is the response from Lucas Oil regarding the Bob the Oil site.

Ron,
Thanks for your interest in Lucas Oil Products. This demonstration in
no way replicates the actual environment of an engine, transmission or
differential. Our original demonstrator that you find in stores is
designed to highlight the increased surface tension our Heavy Duty Oil
Stabilizer brings to your common oil. It increases it to the point that
it will climb gears. In doing this it folds air into itself and looks a
lot like taffy being pulled and twisted. You will even see bubbles in
the base of our demonstrator as it is gathered and pulled around the
gears. This product works and that's the bottom line. It gives you
added lubricity and stronger surface tension. This combination enables
truckers to go 1 million miles plus without any major engine repairs and
even at that point technicians report that bearing wear is negligible.
If you want to learn more go to our website, www.lucasoil.com, and see what our customers have to say about the product line.
Thanks again,
John Mingus

My thoughts:
I tend to agree that using this demonstration simulator ( the ones you find in oil stores & used by Bob the Oil guy), is not representative of a real engine or tranny under operation....... Most folks that I know that work on vettes for a living recommend the Lucas products as being good (& they do not sell these products necessarily).
