Classic engine and bodywork protection message from Lucas

Lucas Oil has begun its spring car care marketing push by urging garages to make classic car enthusiasts and second car owners aware of the need to take extra care when starting up their cherished models after the prolonged winter break.

Most engine wear is caused in the first few seconds after ignition. After prolonged inactivity, most engine oils drain into the sump. Turning the engine over under such circumstances increases the potential for damage as a result of 'dry starting'. Introducing an oil treatment such as Lucas Heavy Duty Oil Stabilizer proves a money saver.

“It not only provides immediate engine protection now, but all through the summer too. A film of Lucas Heavy Duty Oil Stabilizer remains on the moving parts, keeping them lubricated and eliminating the danger from a 'dry start'. It gives engines the protection they need at start-up,” says Lucas Oil managing director Les Downey.

Lucas has also introduced Fuel Stabilizer additive, which preserves the octane levels of fuel in the tank over the winter and also helps keep the engine free from tar and other residues that can take the edge off engine performance. It is a product that motor factors and garages have long been waiting for because it has sales applications across a wide range of markets including vehicle fleets, classic cars, the family car and second car user, as well as the home power tools and leisure markets, too.

Engine Oil Stabilizer and Fuel Stabilizer are included in a range of spring-based promotional offers that are designed to promote the Lucas brand of car care products and lubricants to the trade, as well as to consumers through retail channels.

The Lucas Car Care range also includes Slick Mist, the instant surface intensifying polish that restores the showroom shine to the complete car in minutes and Lucas Metal Polish, ideal for enhancing classic chrome surfaces.
