I've read that their heavy duty oil stabilizer makes am excellent assembly lube.

They have a pretty wide array of markets. From my experience they have a big presence in dirt track racing in the midwest. Even a race track:

Think of the all rednecks in the midwest that buy their product because they see it plastered around every weekend.

I use the 80W90 Hypoid gear oil, but nothing else. Lots of folks back east use it.

Read: east of the rockies.

at the thread. I think the same thing whenever I see Endurocross on the "Lucas Oil Motorsports Hour" or all of those inflatable LO products at outdoor motocross events. I think of them like energy drinks - I'm glad other people buy them so that they continue to sponsor events I like to watch.

I use their oil additive for break in on older style engines, (Aston DB4 & DB5, V8's and Lotus') that use dinosaur oil. The advantage is that they have a high zinc content which is almost impossible to find in most oils. However, I have now start using Brad Penn ( it is the old Kendall refinery, before Kendall got bought out by Ashland and went to shit) the stuff is great, I even use it it my bikes...It is considered semi synthetic and it has the all the good additives....

there's quite a few oils that have a high zinc content and all teh good additives. Motul makes some specific oils for 1920-1950, 1950-1970, and 1970 post. They also have the hoghest zinc content I've ever seen in one of their motorcycle oils which is consequently the oem for BMW M cars. Works awesome. I put it in everything now pretty now.

Kendall used to have some good stuff but it has gone to shit. Same with a few others.

Lucas is garbage from what I can tell. The people that I know who run it only do cause they get big sponsorship money from them. They spin a lot of bearings and other internal issues that I don't see with many other oils.

Wow, it's either garbage, or the best stuff ever made. What kind of tires are best?

I'm an idiot and can't figure out how to search bobistheoilguy website. But certainly it has been challenged/discussed there? Somebody get their google foo on.

I used their auto transmission slip fix oil for my daughters old car a few years ago due to some slipping issues. Worked well and got use through another year without any issues, then we sold the car.
