lucas oil

[codgie]

now i know your all gonna give me grief for buying cheap oil but


i just bought this on fleabay


http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=290964676608&ssPageName=ADME:L:OC:GB:3160


now ive been a motor mech (not fitter but fixer) since my early teens
apprentice served on mk1 astras /cavaliers etc
i have used lucas products most of the time since then


i have it in my bmw car


i use it in my navara truck its in my wifes megane
so i thought why not try it in my bike
at this price it cant hurt if it dont work i just change it out


now i say cheap oil but i never seen it this price before thats about a quarter what i normally pay for this stuff for my cars


im a big fan of lucas products in general they are race tested products


any who thoughts on it


will let you know how i get on

If they send the 5 litres pictured then it is cheap, but the description says it's 946ml.

then i will be making a claim from them with pay pal lol


seems your right


gross misrepresentation of what hes selling i think


thought it was cheap

[elbrownos]

£13.59 for less than a litre of oil doesn't strike me as an especially good deal

[codgie]

tis good stuff

just didnt read it all that well
now where did i put my glasses

[mtread]

And description says it's 10-40 but picture shows 20-50. Very misleading !

Think you will find its an "American" product so unrelated to Lucas (England). As a car oil does it contain friction modifiers?-not such a good idea for wet clutches. Have been buying Silkolene for around  £21-00 for 4L & sometimes Halfrauds do a special on Castrol Power1 10W-40 (semi-syn).

just an update


lucas oils are american


ive used their products most my working life


in customers cars and my own


so heres the web site [size=78%]http://www.lucasoil.co.uk/index.php[/size]


you can read up and see all their products


i highly reccomend their stuff for cars  but have yet to try the bike stuff

[darrsi]

Didn't we get to the conclusion that:


1) It's expensive
2) Nobody has ever used it in their bike before


I'm failing to see the attraction or selling point?


I noticed that they changed the picture in the Ebay advert though!

I dunno, I think you should be able to afford some proper motorbike oil if you got that lot sitting on your drive
