Question Anyone use Lucas Oil products in their 9"?

Was just curious.. was in a local parts shop and saw it on the shelf and realized you can use it in rear axles, I never knew that.

FWIW I have a 9" with a Trutrac Diff. currently using Valvoline non syn 85w140.

Their actual mineral based gear oil is pretty good stuff, although not nearly as great as Torco's RGOs or Shaeffer's 209 (?). I'm using it now, but eventually will get some RGO.
YES, I would MOST DEFINITELY STAY AWAY FROM the Lucas "oil stabilizer" additives, though!!
