Feb 11, 2020 · The main selling point of Lucas hub oil is that it is so thick it will stop leak on old wheel seals. The alternative is just packing the hubs with grease. Just use any quality gear oil like delvac 75w90 that is designed for the axle.
Good stop-leak additive for transfer case? | BobIsTheOilGuy
May 31, 2017 · GL-5 gear oil as required fill was confirmed in the owner's manual. The plan at this point is to monitor the level to determine how bad the leak is - I plan to recheck it in a month. The vehicle's only done about 12K km over the last 2-1/2 years, so even if I have to add a bit a couple of times a year that seems preferable to dropping big coin ...
Lucas Enigine oil Stop Leak? | BobIsTheOilGuy
Apr 15, 2013 · Since Lucas Engine Oil Stop Leak is ~90% Napthenic Petroleum, and since napthenic petroleum has fairly good seal swell properties, why are so many people posting with authority that the product does nothing but thicken the oil?

Lucas Oil, is it any good? | BobIsTheOilGuy
Apr 2, 2017 · Stay FAR far away from the Lucas gear oil. The VOA I saw on the 75w90 (may have been 75w140) indicated that it didn't meet SAE standards for that viscosity. Come to think of it, the ONLY thing that I've ever used from Lucas that seemed to do what it stated on the label was the power steering stop leak.

Rear Diff Seal Leak? | BobIsTheOilGuy
May 9, 2010 · I have a very minor leak at the rear diff seal. Anyone have thoughts on just adding some stop leak like Blue Devil? The fluid is fairly new. Leave it and top off as needed. I would not mess with a minor leak at the pinion seal, only if oil is leaking out an axle seal onto your brakes.
Lucas Power steering stop leak did not help | BobIsTheOilGuy
