lube control and high mileage oil

[tweeker43]

does lube control perform any of the functions of high mileage oil?

i'm debating the merits of continuing with my current regimen of lc and pennzoil or switching to high mileage oil. i have about 80,000 on my car and am getting close to another oil change.

i know lc cleans, but i was wondering about seal conditioning, etc...


thanks

I think it does more than clean, but as to the rest i dont know.

tweeker,

If you worried about seal conditioning at 80k, do a regimen of auto rx. The auto rx will do a much better job of helping your seals than high mileage oil.

Lube Control fights oxidation and controls insolubles in the oil allowing a longer drain interval.

i've done autorx, and will continue to do so on 50,000 mile intervals or so.

i'm just curious about the in-between stuff.

Why would you not go with Auto-Rx maintenance plan? and maintain clean ring packs,consistent performance
better MPG.

I use A-Rx every 20-25,000(dino clean/rinse) then Redline with LC-20 for 8,000+ OCI, along with FP-60. Has worked very well in several vehicles the past 80-90,000 total miles adn nearly three years.

Use the proper viscosity - pick a good oil/filter & change it at the proper intervals. Odds are - you will never need an Auto-Rx afterwards.

How does lc control insolubles? What exactly does that mean, anyway?

Curious.
