In this video I will explain if engine oil additives really work in getting rid of engine rod knock due to worn bearings, or if they help get rid of lifter tap or ticking noise, or if they can fix an engine that is burning oil and smoking out of the tail pipe.

Fixed the oil burn in a 2006 Prius with 230K miles substituting 20% of the oil with Lucas or STP. Also increased the MPG from 44-46 to 49-51. I've had the car on this formula for 15K miles.

@TRC98 2 года назад

And i thought my car with 140k had a high number of miles. Was that on the original hybrid batteries?

@SilvioManfredDante85 5 лет назад

8:30 - Mentioning that Lucas foams up in a 3 gear display case doesn't mean that it does it inside of the engine when it's mixed with 4-5 quarts of motor oil.

@zandern9489 5 лет назад

Excellent points sir and spot on. Now I’ve been using Lucas oil stabilizer on some of my cars as needed for over 20 years. On my 93 eclipse for lifter tick (notorious issue on them) which ‘temporarily’ assisted, but I finally gave in and bought new ones. Now here is where I praise Lucas- my wife’s 200sx had a major engine failure around 120,000 miles. The engine was rebuilt, new bearings and rings and crank, seals etc etc. YET it was not bored and honed🙄 this left a ring gap not within spec and so we have lower compression. Every oil change I add 1qt of Lucas to assist with that and blow-by and wear. That was 80,000 miles ago and several smog checks and she still is chugging. Although a temporary solution it has helped prolong the life of the engine until we can source another engine or car.

I used to use STP at every oil change on a 1970s GM V8, but that engine's normal oil was 10w-40, pretty thick stuff to begin with. I didn't have an oil burning or knocking problem, but back in those days STP was pitched as a "preventative". I doubt it ever did anything, but at least it didn't damage the engine. It was still going great at 190,000 when I traded it.

What about using "Engine Restore" for when the rings are worn? Engine Restore works awesome for restoring compression. It can dramatically raise compression in cylinders with low compression (not high than specs though) but I'm not sure how it affects the rest of the engine.

@wilecatrexy Год назад

I have a 1988 Ranger and I cleaned the engine out with seafoam which help out a lot with the oil consumption, but not completely. I added Lucas oil treatment which helped out more with the oil consumption. About a year later I decided to do the seafoam in the oil again. After a few hundred miles I changed the oil. After changing the oil, I developed a slight rod knock. I added Lucas oil treatment again and the knock went away. Lucas may not be best for car and situation, but it works for a 35 year old Ford Ranger with the original engine.

@hunterl7588 5 лет назад

lucas is awesome. I use it in my truck with over 340000km (211000 miles) in my experience it keeps the oil viscosity for a lot longer than without it. Usually i change my oil every 5-8k with castrol edge and about 5k the oil looses viscosity. The lucas oil keeps it fresh for longer If you have engine problems, it wont fix it. If your bearings are toast, you cant fix it from a bottle If you want something to keep everything lubed, and keep your oil from loosing its lubricity, run lucas

@hunterl7588 5 лет назад

And I forgot to mention. My parents run it in their trucks (they drive long haul) and they always put lucas in when they change the oil. And those trucks go over 1 million miles all the time. Its not uncommon for them to go over 2 or 3 million either Plus I only started using it because an old racecar driver talked me into it. He ran it in his cars, so i tried it and its awesome.

@masterdebater8757 5 лет назад

Diesels usually run Rotella which has a higher Zinc content than conventional oils. Jeep owners are learning to run Rotella to help their flat tappet ticks. Most modern cars could use a zinc laden additive. I prefer using my GTX high mileage oil so I substitute the zinc I need with Engine restore in around 6ounces per oil change. If I was treating a new to me used car I would run seafoam in the crankcase for 1 or 2 oil changes to clean up the varnish and sludge then go to my normal treatment.

@BukitMan 3 года назад

I use one bottle of it, as my top off oil, in between oil changes. Seems to burn off slower than adding regular oil. And since my engine is usually running on its recommended oil viscosity..... I doubt adding lucas slowly as top off oil is thickening it up all that much. At least not drastically. Remember it’s usually mixing with at least 3 or 4 qts of your regular viscosity oil so it ends up not nearly as thick as it seems.

I have noticed is pouring transmission oil in the crank case and letting it idle for 10 minutes and draining and replacing with new oil on higher mileage engines fixes alot of buildup issues in piston rings and cam bearings if you have sluge issues but I dont recommend it unless you know its a dirty engine from missed oil changes. If you have oil burning issues replace your valve stem seals its cheap and effective unless your pistons are shot.

@CycloneCyd 5 лет назад

So, to sumarize: if your engine is already knackered, these additives might just help it limp over the finish line. However, if you've looked after it properly and it's in good condition, these are little better than snake oil and may in fact damage your engine.

@TheProGamerHW 5 лет назад

If you are lucky and the crank doesn't get hammered (little or no scratches) from a knocking rod, you can sometimes just change the $30 rod bearings, break it in, do an oil change and you are done. Tiny scratches can be hand sanded by using a very fine sandpaper together with a band around the crank journal.

@TheProGamerHW 4 года назад

Update - the engine, Volkswagen 2.0L 85kW/116HP, has been running for over a year now (around 30k miles) since we've only replaced the rod bearings without machining the crank. It has a lifter tick (probably worn cam), but it still keeps on going with exactly the same performance. The bearings were destroyed when testing the max. speed on an unrestricted German highway, probably due to bad oil and/or low oil pressure, resulting in a massive rod knock and driving it 200 miles home with a knocking rod. So if you get a rod knock and have an older gasoline engine, don't lose your hope yet and at least try to replace the bearings, you can sometimes still save your engine for very cheap.

@RodknockRhett Год назад

@@TheProGamerHW wish I had the time to do this back when my Bravada developed a very slight knock awhile back. I ended up putting 4,000 miles on that engine before the knock got too loud to trust. I don’t drive it that much so it helps. Pretty sure I’d still have to pull it to drop the oil pan though anyways.

I use Hy-per Lube which is one of Lucas Oil's competitors. I think the key is to not use too much of it. Both my 5.7 Hemi and my 7.4 (454) Chevy take 7 quarts of oil but I put 6 1/2 quarts in and only 1/2 quart of Hy-per Lube. It sticks to metal and cushions parts better than regular motor oil, so it helps prevent dry starts...at least that's what they claim.

It reduces the effect of a "dry start" but it doesn't totally eliminate it. Even in the cold it does help with protection from drier starts. I only used quotes around dry start as the engine always has oil, but when it has less on a cold start up it can do most of your engine wear, I'd think.

Great information, thanks. I would love to hear your opinion about oil consumption additives. I drive a Toyota Prius and they consume a lot of oil. A lot of speculation as to why but it's well known even with low miles. Carbon build up in the intake manifold and oil blow by. I'm trying to explore additives for this. It consumes about 3 quarts every 3-5 thousand miles (no leaks or smoke from exhaust). What do you think? Sticky rings from driving like a grandma? If you read this a video on oil consumption (not seal leaks, not smoking) and additives would be awesome!! Thanks for the great videos I've watched you for a couple years.

That stuff only increases the oil thickness. While the oil pressure might go up thicker oil also flows less effectively and in cold climates, the engine will be oil starved adding insult to injury. Use the oil viscosity and type (syn always better) recommended by the manufacturer. BTW, in addition, some engines are equipped with variable camshaft timing devices that are affected by the oil viscosity. Also, your gas mileage will decrease and the engine will still need a rebuild

Yeah, but if you have an old beater car, you're not going after an engine rebuild, but just try to keep it running as long as possible on a worn engine.

Just put in a half of quart in my 2.4liter nissan 2002 nissan frontier, amd when I would stop at a red light my truck would run a little rough and things would rattle like the hood holder or things in my truck would rattle I put thus in and everything is quite even the engine sounds more quite

Great points - wish I knew years ago - it may just be a coincidence (not causal) but I had a scenario where I added Lucas (or similar additive) with low viscosity to the engine oil. About 20 miles later all of a sudden my crank pulley bolt cracked and left the ending, followed by the crank pulley (harmonic balancer) and everything powered by the belts (water pump, power steering, etc). Think it's possible that increasing the viscosity of the engine oil was enough added strain to the crankshaft that the bolt just broke out of it?

I have used heavier oil in high mileage engines 15w40 and it can stop them from burning oil and extend the life of the engine by a good margin. The only additive I use is Sea Foam Motor Treatment, I have used it in oil for a few days and then changed the oil and it will free up sticky lifters. I buy whatever Conventional oil is on sale by the case and I buy quality oil filters when they go on sale by the case and change the oil more often than most people.

LIQUI MOLY HAS OIL ADDITIVE FOR THE STUCK LIFTER NOISE ISSUE. IT REALLY HELPS 50/50

Great video, i have a 2012 sonic 1.8 and the engine ticks i bought it used and the person before said the oil was just changed, is that normal for that engine? Have you heard the 1.8 ecotech do you know if thats a common complaint?
