Tom,

I read and lost the post where you said you used the Lucas Oil Stabilizer,
and found it to be a great additive. 15 yrs ago I used to use Slick 50, and
thought I got better gas mileage and Slick 50 said it protected better than
regular oil. Unfortunately, it also clogged up engine.

You are obviously smarter than the average person. You obviously are very
mechanically inclined. Didn't that report make you wonder if the additive
was protecting the engine and components when the engine was running at high
RPM?

I've never turned over 2k on that truck since I've owned it. In
cruise mode, it runs somewhere around 1.4/1.5K so comparatively
speaking, it's not running high rpm. We're also talking rear end
gears here which are an entirely different animal than engine oil.

I know guys who mix Marvel Mystery Oil in their gas at 200/1 too -
never been convinced that works either. :)

I wouldn't do that with today's fuel delivery systems.
