    I was wondering what you would recommend for my 99 n14 celect plus engine. I used to use Lucas but it got too pricey then I was using transmission fluid which I thought work the best then someone recommended seafoam and then someone else recommended regular oil. What do you guys recommend.

    I ran Schaefer’s 15-40 7000 semi synthetic in mine. No additives to oil.

    Used Schaffer fuel additive.

    Sampled great from 963k to when I sold it 260k+ later.

    Walmart two stroke oil.
    One ounce to five gallons fuel.

    Lucas has been proven to reduce lubricity, increase wear... Do not use in fuel.

    Saw a fellow on YouTube went by the handle Rawze (I think) and he was using 80/90 gear oil in his crankcase of his ISX Cummins. ( 1 gallon/oil change)
    Now I don't know anything else, but, when they did the teardown on his engine. 3/4 Million.
    He had very little wear to Bearings, CamLobes, Liner wear was minimal.
    I was very impressed!! Now in a Video, bare in mind, anything is possible.
    But, this guy swears by it.
    I think he runs down in Florida. That being said, you probably wouldn't want to do this in the northern climates. With an ambient air temp of -30. LOL But, I've considered it for the summer months.
    Take Care!!
