The reading I've done leads me to believe a person is better off with quality oil and not dumping anything else in the crankcase.

Reports of lucas causing oil to foam at high rpm, someone correct me if I'm wrong but that was the last I read about it

You should know not to believe everything you read...

I do, but I also know an independent report on a website specializing in oil testing is a better source of information than the back of a Lucas package.

I use the fuel treatment, btw...but after the Zmax scandal you would have to pay me to dump **** in my oil.

Get the oil leaks fixed -- leaking oil is a mess, and you run risks like this.
