I tried a bit (oil stabilizer) in my brute force for shits and giggles and now it has a lifter noise when warm, and tried it in the 454 and its hard to say for sure but it may seem noisier too when warm (valvetrain...), BUT i put a bit in my supercharger and shes real quiet now, so i`m thinking its good for gears, but not engines.
Anybody else have opinions?
It certainly has some increadible sheer resitance, noticaly when draining it out of the container.... like a long string of cheese...
So i changed the oil in my truck, went with a castrol 5W-50 syntec, and i think she really likes it, comined with the 160F thermostat maybe the 10W-30 wasnt quite getting up to temp to be 30w? I dunno but the 50w certainly raises the warm oil pressure, which certainly can`t be too bad when running a low stat and a supercharger.... race boats around here just love 20w-50... run all day WOT.
anyways lucas oil... back on topic here. good? bad?
