Lucas Engine Oil treament: Good? Bad?

if it's not using more then a quart every 1000 and not fouling plugs but just puffing for a few seconds on start up there's not much point in worrying about it.

My S-10 has been puffing on start up for 5 years. Plugs look perfect. I change the oil (synthetic) once a year, which is about 10,000 miles and don't even have to add oil at all during the year.

Try Motor Honey - it's cheaper and equally as ineffective.

Snake Oil, is what it is.

Two for the Road movie is on the FMC channel right now.

Quick question if I may. I've seen the commercials and the mechanic shows with them plugging it, but what *exactly* is it supposed to do? *If* it thins the oil, you're using too heavy a grade, if it thickens, you're using too light a grade. What else is there that's *not* handled by the oil itself?

Well, aside from thinning oil occasionally mentioned - which *isn't* a good thing if you're using the right oil, I have heard *nothing*. Even Their web site says little more than "better lubricants". I guess it's like fishing lures and cosmetics - make *any* and market them and you'll sell them.
