Was at auto zone to try out a new product to try on my headlight lenses, and was also looking for synthetic power steering fluid. I then saw this Lucas oil, synthetic oil stabilizer, and says that you SHOULD use it in ALL of your oils. but what caught my eye was where it said to use it in your differintials instead of LSD. I had bought the gear oil the other day, along with a generic LSD fulid, TRANS-X ,but it was all they had.
Havent changed the gearfluids yet...wasnt comfortable with my choices on lsd fluid
didnt know what you all thought about the lucas, (their name is on our new COLTS dome) or does mobil 1 have a LSD, or additive for the gear oil? or will just any ole' lsd work? (yikes)
Got the engine oil changed to mobil 1 FS, what a difference. cant wait to get the rest of the fluids changed.
thanks in advance

Use the Lucas Syn Stabilizer each oil change-1 full quart plus the Mobil 1. Top Cylinder Lube in the gas as well. The Trans -x you have is just fine really. Get the Lucas next time around in 15000. Wayne

dave matthews is great. I put the organic Lucas stablizer in with my usual change of Mobil1 10w/30 and I stopped burning oil, well I burn a lot less anyway.

I have 2.5k on this change and have yet to add any oil, usually I'd be through a qt. by now.

I'll be looking for the synthetic type for the next change, parts store didn't have it last time.
