Why not add an additive  Seriously though, my main seal seems to be leaking a wee bit. Also my seals in my 3 speed transmission are questionable. Would an oil stabilizer / leakstop combo like Lucas oil stabilizer be an OK idea in my engine and transmission? 1955 235 engine. 3 speed manual "peanut" Transmission.

They do little if anything for the performance or longevity of the engine. P.T. Barnum is alive and well, and selling automotive products.

I can tell you first hand the fuel additive / injector cleaner does work. My '13 Toyota goes 6 miles a day below 40 mph and after 6 months it starts running rough. So about twice a year I dose it with Lucas to restore the lost power and rough running. I have farmer friends that will not use any thing but Lucas additive and oil in there $80K tractors, they say they idle better and pull better. | | | | | Joined: Oct 2006 Posts: 843 Shop Shark | | Shop Shark Joined: Oct 2006 Posts: 843 | I'm with Joe H on this. Try it . I fell Lucas products are better than others. | | | | | Joined: Oct 2016 Posts: 496 Shop Shark | | Shop Shark Joined: Oct 2016 Posts: 496 | I'll try it. If my engine explodes, I will be on here looking for advice on fixing it I can assure you.

Not so much so on rope seals. I've sold a ton of this over the years working at the parts store and everyone said it worked. | | |
