lucas oil - codgie - 16-11-13
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
Re: lucas oil - elbrownos - 16-11-13
£13.59 for less than a litre of oil doesn't strike me as an especially good deal
Re: lucas oil - codgie - 16-11-13
tis good stuff
just didnt read it all that well
now where did i put my glasses
Re: lucas oil - mtread - 17-11-13
And description says it's 10-40 but picture shows 20-50. Very misleading !
Re: lucas oil - Dave48 - 17-11-13
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).
Re: lucas oil - codgie - 18-11-13
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
Re: lucas oil - darrsi - 18-11-13
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
