Come on out to Dirtbag! My bar will be fully stocked!
And, I can't think of an example where the gov mandated the use of a certain off the shelf product. They have said "no-lead" for example, but haven't said which no lead fuel. Arco, Shell, Mobile (even though it is all the same).
My...
:beer:
While we wait for the men in black to mandate what oil, fuel, additives, oatmeal and whatever else to use, let's have a drink before they bring back the ban on booze......................................:driver:
So I can have my opinion, I just shouldn't share it I guess.
I don't know if Lucas does anything. It might not. Even if it does, I have no tests set up to prove success or failure. I do think, in my opinion, that the gov (or OEMs as suggested earlier) would NOT be mandating it even if it...
I gotta call BS on this -
It's like saying "If you could prove smoking is bad for you, the federal government would ban it".
Oh wait, there is proof smoking is bad.
Reduced healthcare costs and a healthier population is a national goal too, isn't it?
I used Lucas in my truck and I have...
I feel that you are trying (for some strange reason) to pressure me NOT to use an additive. Saying things like the OEMs would use it or the gov would mandate it come across as peer pressure.
You posted up some guys website that said it was bunk, I posted up some guys website that says...
I don't need to "justify" my wanting to use (I ordered online so I haven't actually got my hands on any) I just have to WANT to. And I can base that WANT just on what I hear other people say, what I read and what I feel. I don't need a lab and I don't need to be swayed by the "if it was any...
All through this thread there have been comments to the effect:
If it was worth anything, the gov would mandate it, if it was worth anything OEMs would require it, don't listen to that seat of the pants dyno your buddy is running - get lab tests.
Yawn, whatever. Those who think like that...
We should get side by side comparisons on everything. Toothpaste, houses, what's for dinner, the list goes on and on. No more seat of the pants dyno bull. If the opinion doesn't come from guys in suits and coats in a lab, it's worthless. Wonder if that sushi place is any good? Send in the lab...
WOW! Really? Yeah, I read that. I only used that website to try and answer some of your concerns as to why big oil and the government weren't rushing in to save your crankcase.
If you really think Slick 50 destroyed your high milage engine, talk to Quaker State - they own Slick 50. Pretty...
Do Oil Additives Really Work
Another opinion. For every website you post that says an additive doesn't work, I can find one that says they do. This site has a few anwers to why government doesn't mandate them or why OEMs don't require them.
Bottom line is I write the checks here and I say...
You are an unlucky dude indeed. I've never had throttle stick on anything.
My POINT is, I don't blindly trust anyone - not Toyota, nor GM, or Ford or even the big oil companies. You stated something to the effect that if there was something better, big oil would be all over it. I don't buy...
