The Lucas and similar products are just another additive that may or may not help a certain car's performance, it all depends on what that car needs/wants from its oil.

If you read my post I didn't say it was a cure all for all oils. Certain engines may want more of certain additives. I know for a fact the Mobil 1 will foam with Lucas in it. That guys link looked like a schaffers oil add and didn't have proof of what was actually happening. He said air was being introduced and it may be, but he had nothing to show what was going on in a molecular level. Something happend but we have no idea what that was other than what the pics showed as a color change.

I have talked to a formulator for union 76 and he has said that the best idea for for oil would be to blend every oil together that is rated for your engine and use that. Why? He said since all oil companies use different additive packages to get all in one oil has tested the best. But his testing was only done at the 76 labratory and probably isn't as tech friendly as an electric motor with some gears and pics.

My point is your not cool. You could have said 50 different ways Lucas oil additive is not good, but you my friend took the high ground. By "getting right to the point" saying "pure junk might as well run gear oil..." you are being attacking not helping and a total anus in my opinion. That is why I was hoping you could get the sand out of your crack and contribute, I thought if I spoke your language you might understand...but you didn't.

I am done with reading anything you have to post and this thread.

why does there always have to be sand in someones vagina? it bothers me, why cant we just be happy and talk about going faster in our diesels.

I've been using Schaeffer's synthetic for the last 50,000 miles.
Pulled the injectors yesterday and did a compression test.
#1----540 psi
#2----500 psi
#3----450 psi
#4----550 psi
Engine warm, 20 engine revoultions.
I know #3's a little low, but I'm still happy with the results.
I will continue using their products.
Cheers,

How is your compression higher than a new engine is supposed to be? :o
'82 Rabbit, I put on a euro vnt-15, 2.25" DP, 2.5" exhaust, the result.....it whistled.

I removed the turbo, made a toilet bowl 2.5" DP, the result....it was deafening. Now it has a homemade muffler up front and a thrush in the rear, the result.....less loud.

I'm just tell'in ya that's what the gauge said. Fairly new tester used twice.
Schaffer Oil is one of the pioneers of Molybnemun technology.


    
The Facts

Moly E.P. Oil Treatment (#132) is a highly fortified extreme pressure engine oil treatment containing a highly specialized additive package. When used at the recommended treatment rate, this additive package provides the following performance benefits:

   1. Increased compression through better ring seal.
   2. A reduction in oil consumption.
   3. Elimination of sticking valves and lifters.
   4. Reduced blow-by.
   5. Increased oil pressure.
   6. A reduction in engine friction and wear.
   7. Increased power.
   8. Better viscosity control.
   9. Extreme pressure protection of the engine bearings, valve train, and pistons and piston rings.

To complement this highly specialized additive package a proven frictional modifier, Micron MolyŽ is further blended into the oil treatment. Micron MolyŽ is a liquid soluble type of moly that plates to the metal surfaces of the engine. Once plated, the moly forms a long lasting lubricant film in which prevents the metal surfaces from coming into contact with each other. By preventing metal to metal contact, damaging frictional wear is eliminated, which leads to less downtime and longer equipment life.

Maybe my gauge is built be rockwell International  ;D

Those are the exact same claims of every single engine oil and additive maker.

How would I know if the rings are plugged?

I guess I bought into the "snake oil" that they're selling. Haven't seen a down side yet. It's in the same price range as Mobile One. I guess I'm the guinea pig, we'll see how it goes.

i've used wynn's stop oil burning stuff before. it worked for me and i was happy. engine was burning a lot of oil previously and was a bit low on power. the oil thickening stuff does just that... thickens the oil. i didn't even think of changing the oil for the cold season and got stuck when the temps hit -20C. i had to change the oil at my buddies to synthetic, and then she ran just fine after that and miraculously the oil burning went down a lot.

it's my own observation that people who cut down engine additives are the same ones who trash talk alternative energies and or free energies. all oil is the same right? no oil will help out your engine right? wrong... synthetic IS better than dino. SOME additives ARE better than others. just look at zinc! ZDDP additive is a great idea to add to your crankcase. i've tried wynn's metaloil and it did make a difference. i know most people demand numbers and factual evidence, but i can only say that my car started easier in the cold weather (judged by me by knowing what my car is like in the colder weather... how's that for a control?)

but i will agree that teflon has no place inside of an engine. that stuff is just terrible. however moly is good.

Right, its known as "not being gullible".

No its not. Thats why you seek out oil hat has high levels of it from the start.

As in many other oil related items, zinc is not a hard and fast across the board "improvement".  It was removed from oils for gasoline engines primarily for emissions issues (sensors).   There have been some concerns raised about compatibility with aluminum components but I have seen statements from some oil reps that at the levels seen in diesel oil it is not an issue.  Probably does not come with a money back guarantee though.  The following is a statement from a diesel oil spec sheet: Because this product contains zinc additives, it should not be used in engines employing silver bearings. so that is one other possible issue.

Right, its known as "not being gullible".

You're gullible for believing the lies from the oil companies and the ones who run the world. Free energy is absolutely possible. The problem is that certain 'laws' created by MEN were meant to intentionally discredit devices that created more energy than was input. Of course there are those looking to scam people to make a quick buck, and they do a good job at tarnishing the reputation of the true free energy devices. Ever heard of the 300mpg car? That was a myth right? Wrong...

And as far as I'm concerned, you're no expert so your opinion is of little to no relevance to me. I hereby classify you in the same category as those deceived into thinking that the H1N1 shot is 'safe'. Don't like the truth? Tough!

If you're happy with the way things are and addicted to oil, then congrats. I myself am not content with oil and know that there are solutions hidden right under our noses, and that we were conditioned to believe that they are impossible to achieve. Unlike you, I'm doing something about my situation in this world and trying to contribute to society something worthwhile. You can't debunk free energy without first experimenting. Anyone can shoot off their mouths spewing disinformation about the truth, but it's another breed of person that actually tests things...

The secret for free energy is in utilizing permanent magnets, switches, and coils (Idea by the Tesla switch). By utilizing both poles of a permanent magnet and alternating them between two separate coils using a microprocessor controlling MOSFETs, allows electrons to flow in an alternating waveform, thereby creating a single phase output. The power that you can achieve is only limited by the size of both the permanent magnets, the length of the wire, and the size of the wire. Thanks to modern day circuitry, the MOSFET controller board consumes a fraction of the energy created by the device. I will link a video below that demonstrates the concept.

Sorry for the off topic response, but just thought I would put OM in his place.
