I put one in called Motor Silk. It uses Boron which is supposed to be an award winning substance. Here's their website:

i agree. lucas oil stabilizer helped my car out alot. runs alot better and doesnt burn as much oil.

i used lucas fuel system cleaner with upper cylinder lubricant as well.

I know, this is a DEAD THREAD, but the only reason why I ask is because the negatives of oil additives came up in a toasted engine thread today.

https://mustangforums.com/forum/2005...bye-motor.html

Can anyone confirm that oil additives will do WHAT is shown in my link?
