Do you use it in your gas engines or strictly the diesels due to the
experience of the mechanic?

The reason I am asking is most people will keep their diesel engines till
the end of the earth, and they will commonly be rebuilt, so the mechanic can
see if the additive caused any problems.

Gas engines on the other hand are not kept as long, and it is hard to tell
if the additive helped or hurt the engine.

Even with your positive experience, unless I see some scientific studies, I
am going to hope the oil manufactures are providing the best product
available with the best combination of additives. I would think they have
checked out Lucas to see if it improved the performance of their oil.

Tom,
I can tell from your posts that you are a jack of all trades and have a
strong mechanical background. Why did you start using the additive in the
first place? Did you have a problem or was it prophylactic?

Strictly semi-prophylactic based on the experience of the local Allis
Chalmers/International/tractor du jour dealer's mechanic who is really
one of the best diesel mechanics that ever lived.
