Default Lucas Oil.. who's used it

Hey I decided to try this lucas oil stabilizer.. I added 4 quarts of mobil 1, 10W-30 and 1 quart of this oil as suggested for newer engines.. anyways I want to know who else has used it and if do you know the interval of the oil change using this product..? It said that will increase oil life by 50% so does it mean am able to change my oil 6 months from know with no problems..

Anyways today listening to my engine at idle I heard this wierd noise coming from the passengers side of the engine.. it seem to be coming from my cams.. its like a gushing, kinda sucking sound.. and it's freaking me out as the car is now being slugish, unlike b4 it was very sensitive to the throttle and know you really have to mash the pedal to rev it up high.. Any one think of anything that can make this happen.. me personally I am blaming the oil, maybe is messing with my cams..

Independant tests have shown that additives don't really do anything for motor oils. A good quality name brand motor oil will have all the detergents, stabilizers, etc. that they need. That along with regular oil changes is all that is really required to keep your engine running properly.

Are u allowed to use it w/ synthetic oils? Just change out the oil and flush it w/ 2 quarts just to make sure.

Something Iv have had good luck with ---although I agree with u on additives as a whole---Is Slick 50 ---There is one for synthetic oil also which I use in the car every so often. Also ---there is a man I know that owns a helecopter service and helecopter rebuild Company and they use Mobile 1 along with an additive that he swears by. I keep meaning to stop by and pick some up.
