I would only put it into a crankcase if I had a bad bearing and I just had to get somewhere to tear the engine down. It is absolutely bad for Powerstrokes due to the HPOP.
Their "Synthetic Oil Stabilizer" still has a viscosity >40 cSt at 100 C., which is about what 180 weight gear oil is rated at. Lucas says it's OK for Powerstrokes....I don't agree.
Incidentally, analyses of these Lucas products posted on BITOG show they are nothing but very thick oil.

Yes but it is kinda ashame that people are still "Hypnotized" by the claims and Hype of these products.Oh well it made Lucas a Millionaire Lol!!!!!!
