I'll give that a shot.  I need to do an oil change soon.  I had put some
Lucas additive in about a month ago which seemed thick.  It didn't seem to
make a difference one way or the other.  

The Lucas transmission additive works fantastic, though.  Clean and smooth
shifts on the rebuilt transmission.

I have never used synthetic oil in my car before, only the Harley.
