Not to bust your bubble VOLJEEPX but I looked into using some of the Lucas lube products a couple of years ago and found an independent test that showed how their gear lube frothed up like the foam on a good beer when the gears were subjected to higher RPMS. The regular standard gear lube did not. I've seen the little see-thru test box at auto parts stores and when you turn the handle the stuff seems to stick to the gears like glue. But, don't forget, in real life the lube will be subjected to much higher speed, force and temp than you can generate with a tiny hand crank and plastic gears. There is actually a copy of the test somewhere on the 'net with a video showing the stuff turning to foam at higher speeds. It was done with a clear see-thru housing and actual gears. It was enough to turn me off the idea. Just trying to warn ya!

Hope this helps

Don't see the need to use any additives. I use mobil 1.
