A bottle of Lucas Oil Stabilizer, filling the rest of the sump with Castrol
20W50. From a previous list discussion there are certainly some differing and
interesting opinions on the Lucas stuff. What I noticed with the Lucas is that
my start-up oil pressure was restored 5-10 lbs to 80-85 lbs, what is was when I
bought the 6 7 years ago. Snake oil? maybe. It has a honey oil consistency
like STP, perhaps this is good for clinging to engine parts and preventing dry
start-ups.
A supposedly LBC knowledgable mechanc did an oil change shortly after I bought
the 6. He used 5W30, saying it was good for all cars. I soon changed it to
20W50 as I had lower oil pressure. Haven't used him again.
Tried Mobil 1 15W50 synthetic, my oil pressure was the same as Castrol 20W50.
