oil treatments

I have a problem with a little blow by on my old
tractor was at menards the other day and was
reading the bottle of lucus oil treatment says it
stops blow by helps seal rings and does everything
an old tractor could use has anyone had success
with these treatments if so which ones seem to
work best or are they selling hope in a bottle
 
Like I say,look for anything that says "Miracle" on the bottle. lol
Lucas additives do some pretty amazing things,but there are limits. If the rings are stuck in the grooves,it might loosen them up and help,but if they're worn,no.
 
maybe I was lucky, but have limped a couple of plug fouling oil burner pickups into use with a product called 'restore'
 
There is only so much that goo in a bottle can do.
With that said I have seen the most success with Lucas products.
 
While you may not have anything to gain, you certainly don't have anything to lose. I've had good luck with Lucas products, especially in transmissions.
 
I never used to use any snake oil treatments. Got talked into using Lucas in 3208 Cat, C13 Cat, and
a few small engines. Now I am a believer. Like posted below it will not rebuild your engine, but in my case it bought 2 to 5 years of time.
There are two Lucas Oil treatment. You want the one that is about two dollars more. I think the little cheaper one is almost like the STP formula.
Always use 20 to 25 percent Lucas Oil treatment when changing oil.
 
Years ago I had great luck with Alemite CD-2, both types, the one for high mileage cars especially, loosening the stuck rings in Ford and Mercury V-8s and the high mileage stuff for quieting noisy engines. STP will help lube worn out engines for a while too, but not help oil burning much. Never have used Lucas Products...yet.
 

Snake oil. At most a seal sweller may reduce general gasket leaks , front and real crankshaft leaks and maybe valve guide seals.
A high detergent oil and work the engine at max load and full operating temperature may shake some stuck rings loose.
 

Lucas products have worked good for me several times and what didn't fix the problem certainly didn't hurt anything other than the bit of money spent.
