I used it with some lucas and i had no problems with it.
I do swear by bars stop leak and KW block sealer, i had a blown head gasket and it sealed it good,
that was on my ranger with 200,000 miles on it, not the stang.

+1 re: what problem are you wishing to correct?

This particular product has been around nearly as long as I have (62 years)--it won't hurt anything, but like all such products it won't fix anything either...

About 15 years ago I had a '69 Mustang with a 351W. It had over 150K miles on it, and burned a fair amount of oil. I poured in a can of that, and it cut the oil burning in half. Less smoke out the back, too. A definate improvement.

But, products like this are band aids to get you by until you can fix it for real.

I used to have an old F150 with a 351W in it, I got the truck when it had 50k on it. I used that stuff for every oil change and the truck lasted me until 230k. Still ran great when I sold it, never burnt oil and fired up every time.

I don't know if this was totally related to this product or the fact that I changed oil every 3k on the dot and took good care of it. Just sharing my experience.
