Has anyone tryed lucas products such as hd oil stabilizer? That stuff is very thick and i was thinking of trying it.From what i read about the capacity it is a little unclear.Do you fill it to the top of the fill plug?Thanks

I haven't heard of anyone changing that oil just as a maintenance procedure. Now if you were rebuilding it or didn't like what was in there, that would be different. I think I drained mine by removing bolts on the adjustment cover but I am not sure.
