| I was just given a bottle of the stuff to try out. The person I got it from is a duck hunting mad man and also shoots tons of skeet on a regular basis. He claims the lucas doesn't cook off the shotgun after a round of skeet in August(Louisiana) and no matter how wet he gets the guns duck hunting has had no corrosion problems. this stuff almost has no smell which I guess could be good. |

I was given a bottle about year ago. I tried it on my 16" Bushy one time this past November. Lots of problems feeding and ejecting. The previous week I had no problems with CLP. Same mags, same lot of ammo. I stripped it down, wiped off the Lucas and coated everything with the CLP. Bushy ran like a champ. I'm not sure what the deal was. Maybe I under-lubed with the Lucas. I've been using it on my H&K USP/.40 and my Remington 870 without a hitch for the last year. I'll keep the Lucas around but I'll stick with the CLP for the Bushy. |
Your statement makes no point whatsoever. Changing the engine oil regularly will show no visible wear after 100,000 - 300,000 miles. Using synthetic engine oil is even better. I know of several people thathad their engines torn down at 200,000 miles after using nothing but Mobil 1 and changing it at 7000-9000 miles. The cross-hatching in the cylinder walls looked like they came out of the factory. Your road engine with 100k miles w/ no "visible" wear was probably taken care of very well. This was not a direct result of using (insert name of favorite snake oil, woops I meant engine oil additive). The Lucas Oil Stabilizer actually makes gear oil very easy to foam, which is a BAD thing, as shown on BITOG. |

No offense, but I think it makes perfect sense. I maintain all my equipment myself, and everything has been rebuilt (or re-ringed, honed etc.) at least once (I don't trade often). I've torn the top off everything I own, and only since I've started using oil stabilizer have I seen wear get cut down like that, especially on my older stuff. I've never used their gear oil, but I like their oil stabilizer... Gundraw |
Their oil stabilizer is the stuff that accelerates foaming of the oil. It's a very poor additive if there was ever a good additive. Using Mobil 1 with regular 7500-10k mile OCIs for 200k-300k will result in a very clean top end as well. Heck, regular oil changes will result in a healthy motor at that mileage as well. Oil additives belong in the snake oil category. |
