    lucas oil additive

    hey i was just surfing through the site and ive noticed that theres alot of people that complain about valve tick. i tried using lucas oil additive and it seems to work great i virtually cant even hear the valves in the morning anymore and it seems to have slowed down my leak as well, that stuff sure is thick coming out of the bottle!!

    im not a fan of any engine oil additive. hondas have valve tick. its not really a bad thing. just adjust your valves

          Getting valves adjusted is pretty cheap. Why try and get a cheaper fix that can cause damage to the motor in the long run, those additives look like gunk coming out the bottle imagine what it turns into in your engine while the oil its trying to lubricate.

          Just my 02.

          I've been riding with an oil pan gasket leak for a while, I just make sure I add proper amount of oil until I can get it fixed, still I won't add any leak fix stuff.

            Thats not totally true. I worked for Honda for quite a few years as a tech. Yeah they don't recommend it, yet they put additives(fuel and oil) when you have any of the major services done at the dealer, and the additives are from different companies, not Honda, because Honda no longer produces it's own fluids. I personally recommend lucas additives, it is really 1 of the best products out there. Some dealerships even use it with their maintenances.

                I found that they add more life to your existing fluids - i have used the tranny fix product from lucas with great results - going to add some of the oil additive for my GF's ride. She has the valve tick as well : /. need to get in there this weekend to adjust

                    changing the fluid is pretty easy just get a jack and jack it up you will see a drain plug and a fill plug on the tranny, if u have a haynes manual it will tell u exactly where they are but yea it recommends just 10w30 oil but if u go to honda theres special synthetic stuff u can put in.

                      my 3rd gear grinds, threw some Pennzoil Syncromesh in there and cleaned that up real good. a few people on here use other brands of syncromesh, made for like GM or such.

                          My tranny grinds into 3rd when i run any faster than 4k. Where can i find that syncromesh? i've kept an eye out but never found anything.


                          and do i drain and refill or just throw some in?
