That’s the stuff you use in cars if you got loud engine, mix 1/2 & 1/2 all the noise will go away, mechanics secret.
Thanks for letting it out

I think you have it confused with some other type of Lucas Oil.

ardbark. this lucas oil has a good rep. along with amsoil, mobile 1 and royal purple. its a crap shoot on oil, ask 10 guys and get 10 different answers on which oil they use. me its amsoil all the way 20-50 engine 10-40 primary, and 75-90 gear lube for tranny. good luck , its your CALL. i must say your lucas oil is cheaper than my amsoil, i like that.

I use Lucas oil in both my Road Glide and Deuce. Great oil! Also use their transmission gear lub. I can not say enough good things about Lucas products.
