People will say what they want about Lucas but I had a v8 truck with 250k miles that was seeping oil. I added Lucas and the leak stopped. I jumped back and forth (on and off) of Lucas for a couple of changes and the leak would come and go when I changed. It could be just "dumb luck" but I'm stuck on Lucas now. Yep, I use the injector cleaner occasionally too.
Oh I wasn't saying he was right just saying what the sales rep told me

Yes, they're very good, at least in my using of them.

I use a mix of royal purple and amsoil through out. Amsoil in the transmission and t-case, and rp in the differentials and motor. K&N filters.
