about oil and other lubricant additives
Tag
Never been much of one to use them but at a car show a couple years ago I won a big Lucas Oil Products pack. There are several of the Lucas Oil Heavy Duty Oil Satabilizer quarts. After reading the label it would seem a good product to use in the rear end of a Crosley, or the tranny or whatever. But again I've not used such stuff before and would like some feedback from some of you more expierenced Crosley afficianados. And not just Lucas products but any others you have experience with.
Now the Heavy Duty Oil Stabilizer label says you can mix 50% all the way to a straight 100% in the differential. Now don't know about 100% but a blend sounds feasible. I have a friend who drag races a Comp Elim dragster and he swears by the stuff but agin that's his experience with it. do some digging lucas oil was investigated and ther product claims were not so was on internet so give it a try they got fined for false and misleading advertisement
Lucas----Abra-Kadabara I a few years ago added the Lucas oil oil stabilizer to my crankcase because I saw an animate display at Pimp Boys featuring Lucas oil stabilizer {their product added to conventional oil vs. conventional oil only}. The display featured a see through contraption with gears that actually for some reason which I forget makes you want to buy the stuff for your engine at bout 9 bucks a quart at the time. Instant gratification I experienced upon install.. The very next day I did an internet search on the stuff and ran across a website hosted by an oil engineer. His display showed that this stuff actually takes on air from the oil pump gear action and through engine breathing enough to whip this stuff up into a frothy solution adding no lubricating qualities but rather in a negative effect. I immediately changed oil and filter again and filled the motor with the diesel rated oil because at that time Shell Rotella had ZDDP{zinc}still in its formulation It is very kind to older engines innards because of their metallurgical make up. Cams, lifters as in flat tappet engines Studebaker V8 for one. I now use conventional off the shelf oil and add a small bottle of ZDDP. jimmijim PS. good clean filtered oil for engine life. Not snake oil
I've used it in the TVR with no problems but it wasn't 60 years old. I would be concerned with the seals not liking it and causing leakage. If your not having problems with your current gear lube it might be better to leave it be.
