Well I have determined that I will just stay with Mobil 1 and a good filter for the oil and I am going to put in a bottle of the lucas tranny stuff to get me by until I switch to full synthetic transmission fluid.
-
Yes it is for a Autotragic.
-
I have also been hearing good things about Mobil 1. The engine is in good shape so I will just stick with Only using Mobil 1 and a Mobil 1 filter.
On a seperate note what do you guys think of Lucas transmission additive? Currently the tranny has standard Tranny oil in it but I will be switching that over to a synthetic too. Till I get around to doing that is it a good idea to run Lucas tranny additive?
I am just full of questions today!!

Nice Venue. Congrats!!

So why use a additive with the synthetic oil? Mobil 1 is one of the best synthetic oils that is out there and they have there own additives already installed. We used several additives at my old Nissan dealership and I found no evidence that what we put in helped, or hurt anything. I was taught, and I believe in strongly, that you need to keep your vehicle well maintained to achieve higher mileage. Thats not to say something wont fail along the way. I think you are just wasting money which, at this day and time, is what I would rather have more of right now.
Now, if you are bad about maintaining your vehicle normally, maybe a additive will help keep you on the road longer, but maybe not.
Excellent point. I do try take care of my engine by doing regular oil changes. I also try not to abuse it. Until I did some research this morning on these additives I was kinda in the dark. I do realize now that you are correct, there is no point in me adding anything if I am already using Mobil 1 since they have their own additives already in the oil. From this article (link at bottom of post) it seems that additives could disrupt the balance that my Mobil 1 additives achieve therefore actually making the metal to metal contact worse. Although in both articles I have posted I have not seen anything involving Lucas. I also do not know who lucas is made by. I got more research to do!!

Thanks Simon, I am trying to do a bit of research and I stumbled on this. Still no definitive answer at all but a somewhat interesting read none the less. The page gives mixed signals about additives but I want to see more real world results and opinions. Seems like most of them are nothing but "Snake Oil".

First off it's not for a nissan. It's for my new to me Explorer. (I know, I know). I've switched it over to Mobil 1 full synthetic. I need this truck to last me as long as possible or until I give it to the wife and buy another Pathfinder! My father still swears by Slick-50 but I have heard mixed opinions on it. I have also been told that Lucas is the best out there. Money is not a problem as I am going to be switching all the fluids to Synthetic and trying to do everything to make this truck last me. Thanks in advance. BTW it has a 4.0 ltr SOHC V-6.

I had Farmers has been awesome for me. I just got into a wreck where I totalled the pathy and filing the claim it was quick and painless. I'm paying about 500 bucks/6 months for full coverage on my ford and my wifes Honda. But they are both older so that is why. Still great insurance company to deal with in my opinion and they send us gift certificates for dinner on both my wifes and my birthdays!

My sister in law lives in a somewhat upscale neighborhood in Parker Colorado. Their HOA does help out during winter by shoveling off the sidwalks and driveways (unless a car is parked there) And there is a nice neighborhood pool and 3 seperate parks and even a batting cage. But they are so picky that they give you a choice of like 8 colors you can paint your house with 5 or so trim colors to go with it. If you do want to go a different color then you have to submit it to the HOA group and they have to unanimously (sp?) agree on the color. They even tried to tell the people they could not put up colored christmas lights, only white. That didnt go very far because since Christmas is a "religious" holiday to most people that they almost got sued from like 10 different people.

That's lovely. One more reason why I will not eat at Bougar King. (1st reason is food poisoning off of a whopper like 6 years ago)

You'll have to go with the AC 2" lift and maybe some strut spacers if you can find any. Otherwise you'll have to do a custom sub-frame drop lift. Dont think there are any kits like that actually available but there are a couple of people on the forum that have done it. Good luck.

Go ahead and start celebrating! Cause......your getting old!!! J/K I'm 30 so I am already there. Happy birthday guys!!

LOL! Says the man with a picture of him and his wife in his profile
This is true I was just giving him crap. Getting married honestly was the best decision I ever made. We dated for a few years before we got married and did a lot of traveling so it was just a matter of time. Plus she straigtened me out! I was partying way too hard and probably would have made some dumb decisions so she was my savior. (Even though during the hardcore partying we were always together).
