What do you guys think about Lucas Synthetic Oil Stabilizer?
I'm thinking about adding it to my next oil change.

I'm not a big fan of oil additives. But Lucas products are very good.

I would not waist your $$$

1. We run full Synthetic Oil.
2. Adding oil life has no Benefit to me. I change mine early at 5K.
3. It changes Viscosity. That could be good or bad. The oil I run is the correct Viscosity for my engine.
4. Oil manufactures do not recommend using any additives.

Like i said I'M not a big fan. Thats just the Jet Mechanic in me. We use no additives. FAA dose not permit their use. Now...Lucas power steering fluid. OSM!

I don't expect it to do any harm but will it do any good? The reviews are mixed.

High quality oils don't require additives. In many cases, additives will upset the chemestry already designed into an oil and actually degrade the product.
