I tried it for a while. It didn't make my clutch slip, but it also didn't change the sound of the motor.

Re:Engine Knocking 2 Months ago  
It so states right on the web site as well as the bottle to use up to 20% I think. Safe for clutches. I used it no problem.

BUT, I did notice that when I have SVS or a leaking intake I get the noise your talking about, Lucas quiets it down a lot, but right after they fixed it I used Amsoil with no Lucas and it had no noise.

I used a little Lucas oil stabilizer in the crank

I was thinking of doing this, but haven't because I am worried that it may make the clutch slip. Anybody have any long term reviews of adding the Lucas Oil Stabilizer directly to the oil? Any clutch problems, or is it a go for it situation?

Thanks for the update. I think I'll give it a shot just before the next oil change.

Only 10 % lucas in your oil for wet cluch app...harley takes up to 40%..But Lucas fuel additive, 1 ounce per tank and knock gone in 2 tanks. I use it ever time, I have a jug and shot glass in my saddle bag.
