when i start my car in the morning it sounds like i have a knocking coming from the motor is this normal? i dont think it is but who knows. the car has always had mobil 1 full synthetic oil changes since it was new. and it doesnt do it when the car is warm and it has tons of power. so i was told from a freind to use that luccas oil stabilizer has anybody used this? i heard its realy good but i figured that i would ask the pro's! thanks guys...Mike

 

Well, lets look at a few things on the knock. How many miles? What grade of oil? How cold is it in the morning? The knock you hear is rod bearing wear and until oil pressure reaches the bearings, with age, you will get a little knock. You might try a lighter grade of oil for winter where it will reach pressure quicker. Also check and make sure you have the proper filter with check valve built into it to help maintainoil in filter after shutoff.[8D]

 

i agree with mech. what is your oil pressure reading when you start up?

ive never used the lucas oil but it sure looks cool in that little display they have at o'reilly's

 

Lucas is some really good stuff! At the shop I used to work at we always put that in cars with over 120,000 miles. I highly recomend you get it warm before trying to put it in. Motor Honey is also very good (and you think Lucas is thick!)

 

lucas is great it saved the motor in my wrecker i lost 4qt of oil out of it drove about 30 miles fixed oil line sold it about 50k miles later and i do run it in my vette
