wow i didnt see how politics and religion and engine oil were all related... Very nice
Steel Soldiers now has a few new forums, read more about it at: New Munitions Forums!
Most folks seem to be happier with the marketing department.Engineers are the last people I want to take my advice from.

Wow! You do realize that this website is hosted by SFR, a manufacturer of after market oil additives, and a major competitor to Lucas? Here is what they had to say about Lucas:Do Oil Additives Really Work
Another opinion. For every website you post that says an additive doesn't work, I can find one that says they do. This site has a few anwers to why government doesn't mandate them or why OEMs don't require them.
WOW! Really? Yeah, I read that. I only used that website to try and answer some of your concerns as to why big oil and the government weren't rushing in to save your crankcase.Wow! You do realize that this website is hosted by SFR, a manufacturer of after market oil additives, and a major competitor to Lucas? Here is what they had to say about Lucas:
"In regards to Lucas we tested this product in terms of its ability to reduce wear under pressure or even extreme pressure. The results are posted on our website at http://www.sfrcorp.com. Unfortunately it tested near the bottom of all of the additives that we tested."

Honestly DUG, you're taking this much too seriously. I don't really care if anyone, or everyone in this group decides to use Lucas, or any other additive. I brought a little counterpoint to all of the "me too!" testimonials. Not one piece of independent test information has been posted in this thread about Lucas that is positive. Surely someone out there that doesn't have an ox to gore has done a competent job of testing this stuff and found it to be a good thing?I think EVERYONE knows you aren't using additives anymore - but just because your truck died sometime after you dumped in Slick 50 doesn't mean everything else out there is snake oil and those who want don't have the right to try for ourselves. They way you're carrying on it's like someone is forcing you to drink the stuff.
All through this thread there have been comments to the effect:Your arguement is umm hard to find a polite word to describe. We are talking about OIL not food not something not relationships and not the government. Hey I heard about this new part called the TORNADO should give you a bunch of extra horse power and torque TORNADO Air Management Systems :: More Power! More Mileage! I bet if you try it YOU will be able to tell a difference, forget what a dyno tells you!
Its people who blindly believe the claims that keep companies like those that sell slick 50 and zMaxx in business, they stuff has been PROVEN to increase wear!
I don't need to "justify" my wanting to use (I ordered online so I haven't actually got my hands on any) I just have to WANT to. And I can base that WANT just on what I hear other people say, what I read and what I feel. I don't need a lab and I don't need to be swayed by the "if it was any good the gov would mandate it" agruement. Nope, I just have to want to do what I want with my crankcase, diffs, etc. It's legal and not endangering anyone or anything in any way.Next time I get pulled over im going to tell the officer "It felt like I was going 55, I dont care what your radar says, if it felt like 55 I must have been going 55" I mean thats the same logic your using to justify Lucas additive.
When we were kids, the powers that be told us to be wary of peer pressure. It is a very strong influence on virtually everyone.guys its ok to disagree and to post up every angle of the argument.
There is a lot to be said about passed down knowledge and personally with this specific type of application 9 out of 10 people I asked said they run Lucas in everything old from field tractors to highway tractors. There has to be a reason all the old buggers running old equipment, who baby all of their stuff, say to use it. And I respect the value of passed knowledge with experience to back it.
