Has any one tried it? How did it work for you? I've seen it around and tried looking for opinions,but can't really find any one that has used it. Lucas claims it will help anything from a slipping Hydro trans to wet brakes to hyd. pistons. I'd give it a shot,but for a 20% mix on a fluid change it costs about $100. Cheap if it does all they claim. but a $100. is a lot of money for "snake oil". even their own website doesn't have much feedback on it.If the Lucas people want to send me a case of it I'll try it and let you guys know what I think ;)

Sounds like snake oil to me but I haven't tried it so don't think I am an expert at all.

They use an additive that makes the seals swell a bit to stop leaks.
The P.S. rack on my Dodge Ram started seeping fluid and a replacement was $300 plus installation, alignment..etc.
I started adding it and the leak dried up pretty quickly. It's been about 2 years and I only get a little seeping in really cold weather.
