    oil additives

    Just wondering about putting lucas oil stabilizer in the engine oil or any other oil additive brands. Will it do any harm

    Hi,

    I use straight diesel engine oil in my bike (Rotella T 15w40 or similar). I'm concerned that any snake oil additives would affect the clutch. Just change your oil every 2000 miles and it will be fine.

    Thank you for your indulgence,

    BassCliff

        I have not checked to see what all Lucas claims for their product, but the only thing I like to add to my oil is ... MILES.

          What Cliff said.. simply change your oil. You need NOTHING in it.

              Agreed with the sentiments above, the best love you can give your motor is good quality, clean oil and filter, Jennifer has racked up 375K on just that, and never had more than the valve cover off.

                        No oil additives...diesel oil has everything your engine needs.

                        Gotta still be careful with diesel oil, as the emission laws for diesels are increasing....
                        Many people here use a seperate bottle of zinc to add in the oil, because some current diesel oils don't contain enough.

                        I use gas additives, like marvel mystery oil and marine stabilizer.
