Lucas heavy duty oil stabilizer

I have a rx8 with a bit more then 80,000 miles after i got a oil change and add Lucas oil stabilizer i immediately feels the difference better throttle response, and feel a bit of increase of power, compression are better. Most importantly oil temperature drop a lot

You can get it at any Kragen, the one i got is for engine, I notice the difference because maybe my car have 80,000 miles compare people over here probably have less mileage than me, I also tried on my Honda RC-51 1000cc superbike, all honda superbike runs a higher temperature then any other superbike, they run about 190-210F, I don't know how much RX8 temperature runs, but when i add them on my bike it lower to between high 170 and not pass 195F so that is almost 15F drop. On Lucas label it use 20% mix with engine oil, but I instead maybe put like between 30%-40% in there maybe that is the difference.

Yeah, its odd I have agree with you, most additives are saying how good it works and yada yada, and I have religiously try them and they don't proof any thing.

BTW, I am not the only person thinks the Lucas oil stab are good, there is other RX8 club member in other thread think so too, the only reason i put this thread is letting all the rx8 buddy the Lucas oil stab are good, its only a suggestion take it or leave it.

P.S. Man! are you that broke that you need $7 dollar, because Lucas oil are cost less than $7 dollar. no offense.
