Hi everybody:

I bought some Lucas 85-140 conventional non synthetic and I just want to know if it's any good? I know a guy with a Ford who bought some and he wound of with a bunch of shavings in his housing.

I guarantee the Lucas had nothing to do with his outcome.
 
I run Lucas oil in everything from my Dart's 4 speed to the rear end. Also run it in my Dodge Ram.

Ok as long as it's good oil. I wouldn't want to wreck a new Eaton Truetrac

Eaton wants you to run Lucas oil with their true trac. I called them and I had to remove the valvoline from mine. I think the other option they mentioned was a shell product.
 
On a side not can you give a review of the true trac? I was gonna bite on one but not sure how it would hold up to slicks when I go to the track

Lots of people are tellin you it's a good product. I sell it everyday. I run their motor oil in my truck as well as their 50 wt oil in my transmission and their gear oil in the Dana 60. We have commercial customers that swear by their products. As I originally told you, Lucas does not sell a bad product. Run what you want, but your question has been answered.

Thank you Rusty..Question is answered:thumbsup:
 
Just changed the oil in my 69 360 Dart with a Hughes flat tappet hydraulic cam. Guess what I used? 10-30 Lucas Hot Rod.
