howards11 Posted April 26, 2008 Share Posted April 26, 2008 I've been using Lubegard oil additve for a while. Here is a link: LUBEGARD Has anyone else heard of this product ? I also used their AT additives when I had my mechanic change the fluid. Comments please. ~Howard Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rooster2 Posted April 27, 2008 Share Posted April 27, 2008 Hmmm.....Are you really asking if anyone has heard of this product, or is this a back door approach for a commerical message? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ROOSTER2: Trust me........no commerical here. I discovered it a while ago and was just wondering if anyone else uses or has heard of this product. It's not readily available in my area (Philadelphia) and I have to get it via mail order which is a PITA. ~Howard Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
svxpert Posted April 27, 2008 Share Posted April 27, 2008 is there a reason you think you need an extra oil additive? changing your oil on your non turbo forester every 3000 miles isnt good enough? how many miles do you have on your vehicle?

SVXPERT: I have 62,000 miles on it. Using Lubegard just seems like a good idea. ~Howard Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mbshop Posted April 27, 2008 Share Posted April 27, 2008 lubegard is a very good product. my shop used it mostly for older a/t. i'm not a big fan of addatives if not really needed. in yer case if yer using a good quality oil then i would suggest not using it. tends to change the balance of addatives. george Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aircraft engineer Posted April 27, 2008 Share Posted April 27, 2008 Most of the oil additives are combinations of zinc dithiophosphate plus some other things. (Think STP plus a bit of other "stuff") GENERALLY, it falls into 2 categories - adding "more" to what's in the oil currently - or - trying to make up for missed maintenance that has maybe caused "other" problems. Usually, it won't "hurt" but it doesn't necessarily "help" either. Your money - 3000 to 4000 mile oil changes will give you the same peace of mind. You could always dump in a bottle of Slick and try to cover all the bases at the same time Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
