Lucas Heavy Duty Oil Stabilizer

Wat do you all think of running this in a 6.7. I run it in my 2004 5.9 2500. I was think it would help when i pull my 36 ft horse trailer load down for all the rodeos im fixing to hit up during the summer. let me know what yall think. thanks a bunch

I sent that link to an engineer friend who is into drag racing and he said that air in oil is one of the worst things that can happen. Apparently, when bubbles pop (as will happen with aerated oil) between gears and bearing surfaces, there is a tremendous amount of energy released and that can damage the gear face or race of a bearing.

I've never been a big fan of additives but that's just me. My trucks have all run fine, even with the beating that I have given them.
