Lucas Oil Heavy Duty Oil Stabilizer

DO NOT USE THIS DODGY OIL STABILIZER – IT DESTROYED MY ENGINE! This is a warning to anyone considering this oil stabilizer product. I purchased it to protect my engine, but it did the exact opposite. The product caused the oil to become excessively thick, restricting oil flow and leading to a spun conrod bearing, which completely seized my engine.
After the failure, I contacted the company and dealt with their so-called general manager, [Name Removed] – and let me tell you, he is as dodgy as they come. After weeks of going back and forth, we agreed they would send a technician to take an oil sample to determine the cause of the failure. I even agreed to pay for the test if it turned out the stabilizer wasn’t the cause.
However, when I asked for the technician’s credentials, [Name Removed] completely ignored my request. Weeks later, they finally sent someone – an auto electrician, who had no qualifications or ability to assess internal engine damage or oil viscosity issues. Completely incompetent for the task at hand.
This felt calculated. I believe [Name Removed] deliberately tried to dodge responsibility and manipulate the situation to avoid accountability. I will be attaching the so-called “report” from their unqualified electrician so you can see how they tried to cover it up.
I have now lodged a formal complaint with the ACCC and included all conversations between myself and [Name Removed] (aka “[Name Removed]”). Screenshots of our exchanges will also be posted with this review to show just how unprofessional and dishonest this company really is.
Avoid this product and company at all costs.
