Was at sueprcheap today reading about oild additives, i know a few people say steer clear from nulon additives (i dont know why?) but i was also looking at the lucas product. the suggest this eliminates all start up wear and demonstrate it with a model with regular oil and another with oil containing this product, the one with the product held the oil where as the other drained off. is this a marketing ploy or does it work well? they also suggest cooler engine oil temps and recommend a ratio of 20% system capacity which means one liter in our 5.0s

thoughts and experiences?

nothing can beat regular oil/filter changes. Most synthetic oils have all these additives anyway. Bit of a marketing spin. Remember heavier oils not always better.

well on my EL XR8 i use HPR10 (10w50) and purelator filters, with changes every 6-7,000

i have been using nulon performance anti-wear, is this as bad as people say?

Wouldn't waste my money IMO, but don't think it would be bad. Nulon oil is good. i use 10-40 full synthetic, and a K&N oil filter. change every 10K, and use Nulon oil flush before change. If you use injector cleaner its always a good idea to change oil more frequently.

i think -gas-man- had a thread on this, it showed what happened when it mixes with oil, all goes to crap. i cant understand how they can sell it after seeing that video.... steer clear of lucas additives

wow.... i just read the article, wont be touching that! thanks for the link mate

what about nulon performance anti wear additives? steer clear from them as well?

I'd never add anything to my oils. They are very carefully engineered these days and any foreign additives can/will upset their chemical balance. Just change them regularly.

I have been using Nulon products for nigh on 20yrs...never had any probs. I even use it in my 1999 Honda CBR1100XX Super Blackbird.....doesn't affect the clutch as some people have you believe.
It is the only additive I trust......100% Aussie too.
