Why would you ask that after I post pics of a bent up, rusty bumper? You make my teeth itch

I ask as I'm wondering who the manufacture of it is regardless of what it looks like. I'm hoping to diagnose a solution to a problem that my friend has been having with that same style bumper.

I had all the new oil drained out and replaced it with more new without Lucas, and the mileage and power came back. I like Lucas, but the recommended amount is just way too much.




I never got any benefit out of it in the engine of my 00.

you can actually see allot with them there though.



They aren't as hard core on them as they would leave you to believe. They were out at my orientation class and I ran for close to 3 months before I got back thru there. If I had kept my mouth shut who knows how long it would have been until they forced me to get them.


I think the biggest reason they run them is for insurance purposes.
