Lucas is meant for any engine, similar to Slick 50 (Slick 50 far superior in my opinion) it creates a almost no drag on the engine parts.
The Lucas is heavy crap, it actually slows your engine down somewhat. In small amounts it is benficial, use what they tell you and its too heavy.
Slick 50 is what you need. The military uses Slick 50 in the military Hummer and other military vehicles. The entire engine is coated in teflon, which is insanely slick. Now the reason the military uses Slick 50 is that when the oil pan is broken or the block cracked and all the oil is gone, the Teflon is there and the engines wont cease for days and days.
Search around and you can find a Slick 50 Briggs and Stratton engine that ran for 5 years without oil...Comment

The standard hummer 6.9L Diesel engine will cease in the same time frame if not faster then the honda engine...simple size comes into play there.Originally posted by jhondayaaj
Slick 50 works so well that some people have clogged their oil ports and such from useing it too much, thus it starves the engine of oil, so only use it once in a while.Comment

Actually the military humvee is either a 6.2L or 6.5w/wo turbo(armored). Also Just because they use it, dont make it right. Military likes to cut corners sometimes.I know from experience.
I've serviced a sh*tload of humvees(mechanic in the army reserve) and not once were we told to use slick 50. When we were down range under the one of the worst conditions for these vehicles, all we ever did was change the oil regulary. Slick 50 is all hype man. So is Lucas. Slick 50 is a very old formula and it uses what we should never put in to an engine, Teflon.Comment

Wow another person that knows what hes talkin about. IMO Additives are pointless and just a crutch I guess you can say. If the manufacturer thought additives were necessary why didnt they include it in the manual. Think about it. In a good world if you do all the proper maintenance, keep up to date with your car you shouldnt need to use additives.Originally posted by oozingmachismo2

additives
this is true....there is alot of hype about them....if they were meant for constant use, the owners manual would have a listing for it!
