Hang on!!! It won't be long before people will be telling you how to check your oil--- you don't KNOW how to check your oil-- Calling BS because additive is not the same as real oil..... etc.....


There is no such thing as asking a simple question anymore

not on my bike, but I had a conversion van with very sticky lifter. I put one quart Lucasoil
along with the rest of the regular oil. After a few rides around town, the ticking went totally away! Might have been a coincidence, but I don't think so. At one point it was so loud,
than I didn't even dare to drive it. I think Lucasoil saved my truck from a costly repair job!
