Re: who uses lucas oil? I use it in my 1990 Mitsubishi Eclipse (The rainy day/work ride)... This car has the "big 4cyl of badness" (non-turbo model) and currently has 218000 miles on it. Engine cranks 1st time, every time, and still gets 35 mpg (even on a 'bad' day). I use at least 1 quart Lucas to 3 quarts dino-oil and the car Loves it! The Lucas makes the engine real quiet, and cuts way down on the smoke and oil consumption... (Not the tire smoke, The smoke coming from the exhaust!)
As far as the Z goes, I used about 1/2 a quart of lucas each change when I first bought it, but now I just use a premium synthetic oil. These LS-1 engines seem to burn a lot of oil (especially when new) and the lucas seemed to help with this. The Z has 13k now and is broken in. Since I do not really have an oil consumption issue anymore, I no longer use the Lucas stuff...
Talk about a big difference... Ride around in an OLD 4cyl for a while and then jump in the Camaro and go for a RIDE!
Damn, I love Chevy POWER!
