Re: lucas oil additve
Yes, Lucas does have a gear lube that works in LU's. Yes, Lucas makes very good products. But I wouldn't use it again. I found it at Advanced Auto. Anyway, I bought & used it in my 85hp w/ no problems. However, this was before I found out that automobile lubes & marine lubes are quit different. Something about the foam created with a auto lube used in a LU that will Blow Out every seal in the LU.
Once I found this out, I wrote to Lucas explaining the potential seal problem & that their product specifically lists outboard motors on the back but it is a Auto Lube.. within a couple of days, they called me back saying I would have No problem. Again, I did not have any problems but I simply will not take any chances!
Buy Marine products for Marine use..my 2 cents.
