Engine oil Kendall or Lucas
I run Lucas in all 3 holes and my bike has been cooler, less noise and shifts smoother than it did when I got it and it had Harley fluids in it.
Pros: cooler, less noise
I go to a local Toyota/Lexus specialist here in San Diego. They use Kendall liquid titanium and it cost me about $75.
Pros: Kendall liquid titanium
Right now I have some Lucas High Performance, but the brand is relatively immaterial to me. As long as it's a reputable brand and it meets the spec in the manual.
Pros: meets manual spec
Cons: brand relatively immaterial
I bought a new air filter for carb. I reinstalled the front engine pan. I did an oil change. VW specialist recommended I go to Kendall 20w50 to fix the oil light at idle.
Vehicle:
Volkswagen Beetle
My Miata has almost 300k on the original head gasket I started using the far right a few times ago and I don’t leak a lick of oil
Pros: no oil leak
Vehicle:
Mazda
Mileage: 300000 km
I use full synthetic kendall and it runs beautifully.
Pros: runs beautifully
I’m not going to argue with anyone about what it does but I’ve used Lucas for a long long time I have a 93 Chevy truck with 400k miles that I have never taken care of correctly I have run it out of oil overheated it overloaded it and abused and mistreated the engine in that truck and its still able to do any thing I need it to.
Pros: engine still able to function
Vehicle:
Chevrolet
Mileage: 400000 km
My mechanic added a bunch of Lucas to the oil, which he said might at least quiet it down, and it did. It's quieter now, but I can still hear it at idle.
Pros: quieter engine knock
Cons: still audible at idle
I run Lucas 5w40, it’s more about doing oil changes more often rather than anything else. VW doesn’t have any special materials in the block or heads, it’s just cast iron and aluminum no different than any other.
Pros: doing oil changes often
Vehicle:
Volkswagen
I installed an oil cooler on my buddy's 370z and he dumped in oil and a full bottle of this and I just scratched my head
Vehicle:
Nissan
