Default Lucas Oil Stabilizer

I'm getting ready to do my first oil change on my 2000. I've always used Lucas products with my previous Corvettes. Do any of you guys use Lucas Pure Synthetic Oil Stabilizer in your LS1/6 engines? This is my first Corvette that requires synthetic oil. Any tips/info would be greatly appreciated! Thanks

Don't do it.

I'd strongly recommend going to Auto Zone and getting German Castrol Syntec 0w30. Awesome stuff, quite a bit better than the very thin Mobil 5/10w30. Although the M1 0w40 is good stuff.

Aereation in the oil is bad.

Delco, Mobil,K+N,and wix are all great filters.

Wow, just wow. I had no idea that Lucas would do that. I've sworn by it for years.
Thank you VERY much for the heads up, and I'll certainly check into the Castrol!

I use LC20 in my oil to control oxydation and dissolve carbon. Recommended by Dyson oil analysis.
