Lucas Pure Synthetic Oil Stabilizer Options

[netrata]

Has anyone ever used that Lucas Pure Synthetic Oil Stabilizer on their car? A mechanic friend I know said that his friend uses it on his B18 civic hatch and it works good, especially to quiet the valve train. Personally, I'm pretty "iffy" when it comes to oil additives. Any opinions or comments?

The same polymers that make oil act as a multi-viscosity also cause oil entrapment.

In 15W40 or 10W30 there is not a much of either weight oil, it is a mixture of light oil and heavier oil to make a blend that acts as a light oil would. The polymer net encapsulates the different size oil molecules at different temperatures to form a oil that acts like a heavier oil would.

All they are doing is adding a polymer mixture along with larger molecules of synthetic to form a thicker oil.

Synthetic oil is more immune to the effects due to a consistant molecule size.
