Default Lucas Synthetic Oil Stabilizer

Has anyone used this stuff? I've heard good things about it and was planning to mix it in 25% with my Redline MTL and MT90 and 25% with the LE607 90W.

I used it with my oil change. Can't say that I notice a huge difference. It seems like mostly marketing to me.

The little contraption with the gears at kragen was amusing, but I hardly call it proof to the oil's worth.

Here's some more info from BITOG. I have never seen anything credible from Lucas. In fact, every Lucas product appears to be worthless, and most likely dangerous to use.

As far as I've been able to tell, Lucas is just really cheap Group I base oil loaded up with thickeners. I've actually talked people OUT of buying it from me.

To add my opinion, major oil companies have already spent millions in research to maximize the effectiveness of their own oil and it wouldn't be reasonable to expect a relatively minor company like Lucas to be making improvements on the majors.
Nothing is impossible I guess but ,I think it highly unlikely.
