Hot Rod & Classic Car 10W-40 Motor Oil

Lucas Hot Rod & Classic Car Motor Oil SAE 10W-40 is manufactured with the highest quality paraffinic base oils and is fortified with a unique additive package containing high levels of zinc, molybdenum and phosphorus, which provides a tougher, thicker additive film for maximum protection even under the most severe conditions. It lowers oil temperatures, extends oil life and minimizes metal fatigue. It improves the film strength between the cylinder wall and piston rings and slows oil burning and improves pressure in worn engines. It has good cold temperature properties and stands up to high operating temperatures. It is compatible with methanol and all racing fuels, as well as with synthetic and non-synthetic oils.

Lucas Hot Rod & Classic Car Motor Oil SAE 10W-40 is for muscle, showroom, classic and trophy cars without catalytic converters. It can be used in racing applications. Not recommended for passenger car use.

Available in convenient 5 quart bottles, the formulation is perfect for the Hot Rod and Classic Car crowd with an increased zinc value of 1600 PPM. Because many of these very special machines often spend long periods off the roads, a number of the components of the additive package used in Lucas' Marine oils to provide rust and corrosion protection have been included in its unique formula.

HEAR IT FROM OUR CUSTOMERS

It was like riding a completely different bike.

I have a 2008 Harley Dyna Street Bob which has been completely customized to include engine work, custom exhaust and multiple dyno tuned sessions. The motor has 31k miles on it. The engine has always run extremely hot and destroys any oil thats in it in less than 2000 miles. This past weekend, I decided to switch over and try Lucas Oil and added 6 oz of Motorcycle Oil Stabilizer to the fresh oil. The bike is extremely quieter now (always had a sewing machine noise) and runs significantly cooler. It was like riding a completely different bike. I am sold. This stuff rocks.

Now the engine is “humming” like it was brand new.

Complete Engine Treatment added to engine oil eliminated squeaking from engine during ignition and now engine is "humming" like it was brand new. 2003 LEXUS RX 300 108K.

In 2 days my steering is back to normal. Honest.

My '06 Ford Freestar was gradually getting harder to steer. No leaks and a tight belt so no slipping. I emptied as much fluid as I could and added a bottle of Lucas Power Steering Fluid and Conditioner which the bottle says eliminates hard spots.. in 2 days my steering is back to normal. Honest. It worked for me and its been 3 wks now. A garage near me gave me a price of $569.00 for a new rack installed. I lucked out. For $10.00 a bottle it was worth a try. I'm very happy.

I am amazed at what it has done to my engine noise.

I own a 2008 Ford F`50 with a 5.4 engine and 137,000 miles. Over the past year my engine developed the Ford death rattle. It's known as cam phaser problems. This was when pulling a trailer at low idle. I decided to try out Lucas High Mileage Oil Stabilizer additive.T his was 12,000 miles ago, and I am amazed at what it has done to my engine noise. It's been gone since a week after I started using it. I told my son in law about it, as his Honda engine is using oil and fouling plugs. He is amazed at how it has helped his engine trouble and he has not fouled a plug since he started adding it.
I also have added it to my old Briggs and Stratton 5 hp engine. It smokes really bad, since adding it has cut it down 80 percent. It has made believers out of us. Thanks
