I have a 2001 Hyundai Elantra with 90,000 miles. I drive 200 miles a day round trip to work every day. I use Lucas Heavy Duty Oil Stabilizer with every oil change.
My last oil change was done and one of the places that changes your oil in 15 min for 19.95. I gave them 1 qt of Lucas Heavy Duty Oil Stabilizer and they put it in my car during my oil change.
After my oil change, I noticed that my car was leaking some oil. Two days ago, I drove my car to the store (approx 12 miles each way). I noticed right away the oil light was on. When I got to the store, I added a quart (knowing that I had a small leak). When I left the store, I noticed the oil light was still on. I drove it 12 miles back to my house. When I was pulling in my driveway, I noticed a long, wide trail of oil coming from an even larger pool where my car was parked. In the center of the oil pool, was my oil filter.
What had happened was, when I started my car to go to the store, the oil filter had come off, and ALL of my oil pumped out of the car in the first 20 feet of my journey. For 22 miles, I drove my car with no oil. I verified this when removed the drain plug when I put on a new filter, and NO OIL was in the pan.
I truly believe, if I had not put Lucas Heavy Duty Oil Stabilizer in my oil changes, I would be buying a new engine today. Can a normal engine, with normal oil survive 24 miles of driving with NO OIL? I don't think so. Thank you so much for saving my car's life. I am forever in your debt.
Thank You,
