This is worth watching for all the guys who think adding some additives to your engine oil is a good thing.
He lays out the FACTS about why you should buy a better oil than add a bunch of junk too it.

I've wondered about that but was afraid to ask
What was his thought on full groove main bearings?Some guys don’t care for LS jr. I know the guy knows oil and tribology. Somewhere I have copies of emails between us that covered everything from full groove main bearings to surface geometry, ring function and some other stuff.
He knows oil and lubrication.
Is he not making enough money at total seal

Well, your guy completely (almost) blew by the FR3 by Hot Shots, he mentioned it and kinda bulged his eyes or something. My Chrysler 200 used oil from the time it was new. Probably had to add oil 4 or 5 times to a 5000 mi oil change . Fresh oil change, I added the FR3 when it got time for the first add. The next time I checked, it was half way down the add mark, and stayed there to the next oil change. Had that car for 8 years. Not saying that all additives work, but it would be impossible for that guy to un-ring the bell for me on FR3.
Funny, I just finished watching this on YT.
Funny he skipped results on the STP, if he did, I missed it.
Tried 3 different synthetic oils. All I know is it seemed to cure my oil consumption problem. FR3 is not a viscosity changer like STP. It's actually thin, as far as flow.
That's all I have.
Lol so true.Companies, and auto stores sell the stuff, cause they make money selling it.
I have a local friend who actually know the Lucas guy. I forget what he said his first name was. But he and a friend broached the oil business and they started finding out that all of the Lucas products were snake oil. All of them. That was surprising to me, because I've always been told and thought Lucas was one of the decent lines out there.Do you mind posting which oils you tried??
I cannot disagree. I've used the Lucas Hot Rod literally for YEARS and have had no issues. I've also used a lot of the Lucas products and have friends who run professional repair shops that use it too and they all agree the products do what they say.Just because something is on YouTube, that doesn't mean it is true.
I don't use oil additives, but I certainly would not let one internet video convince me that they were bad.
