Lifetime MemberMy most recent recipe for long running motors is 4 parts castrol gtx 10-40, 1 part castrol syntec and an ounce or two of Lucas additive. but I would never put a whole quart in per change as directed. Thier trans. additive has helped temporarily recover some ailing tannys of ours. Thought they were goners, changed the fluid and added thier trans. stuff and so far has improved 2 neglected cars that we bought. I was sure I would have to replace the trannys immediately but at least it has given me time, they shift fine again. I'm amazed. it was very thick and hard to get in but it sure worked. Lucas oil add. is not like the teflon stuff it's more like STP which I would only use in small amounts for certain things ( gears) but if you use too much it's very hard to get in gear on a cold morning. all my motors go high milage so I'm keen on finding that extra edge for lubrication.

I have used the Lucas oil treatment on a salt-water boat with a Ford 351W for years after seeing the clinging oil in my parts house's display for several years and, after my tear-down for head gasket failure at 300 hard hours, still found some hash marks on the cylinder walls, it made me a Lucas freind. Boats are always fully loaded with little coast. Can't help but wonder what Lucas plus Slick 50 would do.....
Ken, your ratrod RULES, especially after the round trip from Cleveland to Pigeon Forge and back. You might think about the shiny red spray job.

hehehe.. i got the same idea

- I have had to reset my idle speed (downwards) three times now
- The last 4 days I have used the car every day (Americarna see seperate post) and for the first time since I have owned it (2 years) it has been starting immediately from cold instead of the usual cupla/three Rrrrr's (which as mentioned previously have been very much faster Rrrrr's since adding Slick 50.) This may only be due to using it daily tho. Although I can't think why... cold is cold isn't it ?
... will have some more MPG's to post soon, but so far I have seen an improvement of at least 3mpg.
So my experience has been all positive
Thanks ken for that info., very helpful. Oh BTW, thanks to this tread, have started to use "slick 50" in all our all engines, vette, truck, tractors, spray rigs, yada yada yada. Heck, even put in our go-karts. Gona find out how well it works one way or another !
