When I first got my Jeep, the rear main leaked like crazy. And dumb me decided to try and look for something to slow the leak. And I found the Lucas oil stop leak and decided to try it. I did this before doing any sort of research. Well, needless to say, I was an idiot and when I finally got around to biting the bullet and actually changing the seal and changing the oil, when I drained the oil, it was nice and bubbly and foamy. That's when I decided to never touch Lucas ever again

just like to say again that lucas FUEL treatment does work and has never harmed any of my cars and i swear by it. I buy it by the gal and add to every few tanks and on new or friends cars i use it on its done nothing but help. Never used anything else by them.

Didn't bother reading the thread.
Probably been said already, but the only thing I run in addition to conventional 5w-30, is "RESTORE" 6 cylinder formula additive in the silver cans. Love that stuff. Along with 3 Seafoamings a year.

You mean polyether amine?
"Polyether Amine or PEA chemistry was patented by Chevron in the early 1980s. It can help clean a vehicle's combustion chambers, reduce engine knocking and pinging, remove harmful sulfur deposit from gas gauge sensors and relieve cold-startup issues. Chevron uses PEA chemistry in its Techron Concentrate Plus. PEA chemistry can also be found in fuel system cleaners from STP, Gumout and Valvoline. Many auto dealerships also use PEA chemistry in fuel-injection cleanings."
