Hi again I'm about to change the oil and the filter and I wanted to add some additive (Lucas Oil stabilizer) to my oil to reduce a small engine knock. (been told its normal). Was wondering if that would damage my engine or if its fine and its cool to add it. It has 14.5k miles (23,335 kph)

Hi everyone,
As you all know, Coffee (Dean) passed away a couple of years ago. I am Dean's ex-wife's husband and happen to have spent my career in tech. Over the years, I occasionally helped Dean with various tech issues.
When he passed, I worked with his kids to gather the necessary credentials to keep this site running. Since then (and for however long they worked with Coffee), Woodschick and Dirtdame have been maintaining the site and covering the costs. Without their hard work and financial support, CafeHusky would have been lost.
Over the past couple of weeks, I’ve been working to migrate the site to a free cloud compute instance so that Woodschick and Dirtdame no longer have to fund it. At the same time, I’ve updated the site to a current version of XenForo (the discussion software it runs on). The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.
Unfortunately, the new software version doesn’t support importing the old site’s styles, so for now, you’ll see the XenForo default style. This may change over time.
Coffee didn’t document the work he did on the site, so I’ve been digging through the old setup to understand how everything was running. There may still be things I’ve missed. One known issue is that email functionality is not yet working on the new site, but I hope to resolve this over time.
Thanks for your patience and support!

what oil are you using? Can't comment on that particular additive but generally would avoid any. Both my Terras really like ester oils like Penrite MC4 or Motul 5100/7100. In my experience a good improvement over the Castrol - engine is quiter and clutch is happier too.

lucas oil stabilizer is complete garbage. it has zero wear additives in it...all it does is thicken things, while diluting your actual engine oils precious additives. STAY AWAY. run good quality oil in the thickness you want, and be happy. redline, amsoil, motul make excellent oils packed with what you need.
lucas oil stabilizer has been sent out to places for analysis, and its bizarre how empty it is.
