minuccims Posted February 5, 2014 Share Posted February 5, 2014 I keep a 24 oz bottle of the Lucas fuel additive in the trunk and through 4oz in ever few tankfuls. Use it to keep the injectors happy since they are at >90% duty cycle @ WOT. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Use it to keep the injectors happy since they are at >90% duty cycle @ WOT.I do the exact same thing. Respect. Got this in the mail today. Have a storm rolling in so will wait a few days to start a very subjective set of observations.Great! Use my steps to add the stuff after an oil change. Don't be discouraged by how it looks. And most important of all, give it a good shake before pouring in. Its good to the last drop. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GTTuner Posted February 15, 2014 Share Posted February 15, 2014 I used that arcographite oil when young. What ever happened to that stuff? It was conductive and when the graphite built up on the plugs it caused misfires. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

matts-legacy Posted February 24, 2014 Share Posted February 24, 2014 I just changed my oil with CASTROL EDGE once again and added Z max complete system!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jojorios Posted March 3, 2014 Share Posted March 3, 2014 Met up with Perscitus on Saturday and I did my oil change yesterday with Rotella & Purolator oil filter. I added the additive after letting my car run for 10 mins this morning. Then off to work I went (40 mils). First Impression: I can honestly say that everything did feel smoother. From the moment I got to my first light (about a quarter mile). Since I went stage 1, I had felt a very very slight difference when i idled. Just a slight vibration. I didn't feel it at all this morning and once I got on the highway the car felt like it was coasting. I wish there was a better way for me to explain it, but the drive just felt smoother from start to stop. I have definitely become a believer and will use this probably every other oil change or so.

Perscitus Posted March 3, 2014 Author Share Posted March 3, 2014 Thx Jorge. Exactly what you should be seeing initially - as the additive works its way throughout the engine and turbo and over the next 100 miles and beyond, you should also notice increased power, better throttle response, and a cooler running turbo/engine.

singincanary Posted March 8, 2014 Share Posted March 8, 2014 Have any oil analyses come back after using this yet? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Perscitus Posted March 9, 2014 Author Share Posted March 9, 2014 I have yet to submit mine. It will be going out to Blackstone in another month or so. 2nd oil change with nanotech, almost 8K miles and no oil loss/burn on my 3.6R. Earlier I had to add about a quart in-between oil changes.

There's no reason an additive won't work. Heck, that is what oil manufacturers do to their own product. They put in different additive packages and formulations for different needs. Some are high mileage additives, resistance to breakdown, viscosity, etc. It would be great if there was something that worked. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Perscitus Posted March 9, 2014 Author Share Posted March 9, 2014 Oui hmmrdwn, the key difference with this one is its not chemical in nature, does not alter the properties of base oil. Its mechanical and only needs the stock oil as carrier. The NDDs in their carbon graphite shells are suppoaed to bond with and alter the friction characteristics of metal surfaces of our engine internals.

singincanary Posted March 9, 2014 Share Posted March 9, 2014 Can't foresee any issues with the timing chain on the H6. I'll send you a pm about the remaining stock for the GB. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There are a lot of reasons dumping random things into your oil as an additive might not work. Hence the interest in blackstone results. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This product is totally different, but I remember "Motor Honey", which was basically a super thick oil to increase viscosity and decrease oil burning. Didn't do anything to your engine, but would decrease oil consumption. A blackstone analysis could show high iron, aluminum or other metals if it was in fact polishing. The negative aspect to polishing with a fluid is that the fluid indescriminately polishes all bearing metals...not just one that are noisy or rough. Metal surface coatings should indicate less iron or other metals in the oil analysis. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nstg8r Posted March 9, 2014 Share Posted March 9, 2014 I'm due for an oil change at the end of the month and I will be sending a sample to Blackstone pre-additive. Then I'll be introducing the NanoTech for the first time and plan to do another Blackstone analysis post-additive. Obviously, it'll be 3-4 months in between.

JT_36R Posted March 18, 2014 Share Posted March 18, 2014 Just had the oil changed. Will put the first additive in later tonight after rush hour. ** So I put in the additive and went for 40 min drive(46km about 28 miles) at the end of rush hour traffic. Most of it was spent on the highway, speeds vary from 80km/h to 120+km/h. I just had my car tuned, so right now I can't tell if the additive is making a difference on idling and responsiveness. I will update if I notice less oil consumption, which is the main reason I purchased it for. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lordchilly Posted March 28, 2014 Share Posted March 28, 2014 its been over a 100 miles now with the additive. Seems smoother and quieter. Car is louder in the cold anyways. Will know better after next month oil change. The only thing I hear now is my konis hitting every pothole on my street Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Perscitus Posted April 10, 2014 Author Share Posted April 10, 2014 Blackstone Labs oil report is in. Looks great to me and Blackstone! Suggested change interval has been bumped to 5.5-6K miles (from current 3.5-4K I've been following). Almost 50K miles on the ODO 0.0 quarts of oil burned/added since first Nanotech use (2 oil changes and 8K miles ago) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hmmrdwn Posted April 11, 2014 Share Posted April 11, 2014 Those are good numbers. Everything within specs. Makes you feel good when you get those lab results. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jojorios Posted April 15, 2014 Share Posted April 15, 2014 It's been about 2k miles since I added the additive and the car is still running smooth. Going to send my oil for analysis on my next oil change. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Perscitus Posted April 15, 2014 Author Share Posted April 15, 2014 A few of the guys from the two GBs had 2.5is -hopefully someone chips in. Right now we have feedback and use from: EZ36D EJ25 FA20DIT Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
adam_m Posted April 16, 2014 Share Posted April 16, 2014 After studying some nanotechnology stuff I would assume the DNDs just fill in the nanometer-sized surface imperfections which would cause the surface to have a more 'polished' appearance at the microscopic scale. I'm going to get a hold of some to test in my EJ25 (~170K miles). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
