Lucas oil is OK, but I dunno about the stabilizer.

I used the fully synthetic stabilizer in the black bottle over the regular white bottle stabilizer. It instructs to use 20% stabilizer when factored into the total oil amount.

All I know is that this stuff quieted down my motor and primary that have driven me nuts since I got the bike.

Ya maybe you are but it's still VERY VERY cheap insurance for your motor/tranny....plus the peace of mind when the temps start to rise outside. Your plan is good me thinks.

ORIGINAL: OldFenderGuy

Haven't tried their oil yet, but myself and many of the 'old timers' I know have been using the Lucas Heavy Duty Oil Stabilizer in our Harley's for years and years. (I also use it in my 4-wheel vehicles as well).

Normally add 3 or 4 ounces of the stabilizer at each oil change (2,500 to 3,000 miles)...

Yeah I know, it's probably "overkill" changing the oil and filter that often, especially since I run good synthetic fluids, but old habits are hard to break....

I have been using and selling Lucas oil products for longer than I care to remember and have never had a complaint or an issue with them. I think the stuff is Great!
About 15 years ago my Father purchased an old charter boat that had twin Chysler engines in it... and both engines had a million hours on them. They ran fine but made more noise than any engine that I have ever heard before. We started to run the HD Oil Stabilizer in it and they quited right down. I could not believe the difference that it made.

I liked the demo, but the question is in my small mind, was that a true comparison of what a motorcycle engine is about? The other thing that I am wondering about is, could the quieter engines be due to some kind of noise insulation by the air bubbles in the oil?
I enjoy topics like this, I might actually learn sumptin'

Yep. Lucas 20w50 Synthetic Motorcycle oil in the motor, tranny and primary, with 20 ounces of the Synthetic Oil Stabilizer in the motor and 5 ounces in the tranny.

I went for a 150 mile ride yesterday and the bike was smoother, ran much quieter, shifted smoother and the clutch worked much more progressively than before.

I am a happy camper.
