Good video, but didn't include the lucas oil heavy duty oil stabilizer. I'll see if I can find a review specifically for that.

I just bought 4 gallons of Rotella 15/40 at walmart last weekend. I think it was $18/gallon. I have bought it on Amazon as well. This was for my diesel tow rig and generator.

If you are looking for oil for your race car i recommend Lightning Racing Oil. I have been using their oil for about 8 years now and my engines have lasted the best of any oil i have tried. I dont run any over the counter street car oils in my race car or oil filters. I use a System One oil filter.

Historically, straight 30wt rotella is noticeably more expensive, that was the point of the thread, I was specifically looking for that. Thanks for the recommendation, I'll look into there oils.

I've been running 6qts rotella straight 30wt and 1qt of the lucas additive in my race car for the last 10 years or so with 4$ Fram oil filters off of amazon and have had great success. Only issue I've ever had was I wiped a cam lobe and roller lifter on my small block about 3 years ago, but I think that was a parts failure, not oiling issue. It seems the roller cracked and stopped spinning, eating itself and the cam.

You're about a week late, Rotella had a good rebate deal. I paid about $70 for a 5 gal bucket and got $20 back. I believe Tractor Supply had a sale on Rotella, a little cheaper than Walmart.
I've run Rotella and other easy to find oils, with my flat tappet cams. I have been using Mobil 1 racing from WM about $27 for 5 qt. jug.

It is in the video titled "additives" about a half hour long, but it DID specifically address the Lucas stabilizer. The video's too long, but worth the watch. It was in the section called "the Bad".

I saw that, but that was the full synthetic stabilizer, I use the heavy duty version meant for big-rigs/diesel trucks

Yup, I see that now. Makes me wonder how much difference there really is though.
