I’m not going to argue with anyone about what it does but I’ve used Lucas for a long long time I have a 93 Chevy truck with 400k miles that I have never taken care of correctly I have run it out of oil overheated it overloaded it and abused and mistreated the engine in that truck and its still able to do any thing I need it to.
Pros: engine still able to function
Vehicle:
Chevrolet
Mileage: 400000 km
I run Castrol Edge in my VDub. It's the European blend that is approved by VW as shown on the back of the jug.
Pros: approved by VW
Vehicle:
Volkswagen
I use this on my 2003 Passat 1.8T probably every 2-3 oil changes. Motor has 269,000 miles and burns a smidgen of oil on startup. The Lucas seems to help a bit.
Pros: helps with oil burning
Vehicle:
Volkswagen Passat
Mileage: 269000 km
Used it for years in high mileage motors. 215,000 on a 1.8 turbo VW
used no oil between 5,000 mile changes.
Pros: no oil consumption
Vehicle:
Volkswagen
Mileage: 215000 km
Ok, so here’s my anecdote: a friend of mine had an old Ranger that had an oil pump failing. He didn’t want to pay me or anyone else to pull the engine and replace the pump so I suggested he just throw a bottle of this in there and see what happens.
Well, his oil light went off and oil pressure improved.
Pros: oil pressure improved
Vehicle:
Ford Ranger
Pennzoil Platinum Euro is one of the best oils available as far as NOACK is concerned. It meets most if not all European car manufacturers specs and is the factory fill in Fiat/Alfa engines.
Pros: best oils available, meets European specs
I use Castrol R, smells great and reminds me of riding 2 stroke bikes from my younger days.
Pros: smells great
I run Mobil 1 in my bikes.
I put mine in around 20k. The first change I did - it had 2 small metal shavings. I got very nervous. Ever since then there has been the powder you have in the pic above. Sometimes more sometimes less. The 2 times I have used Castrol I found more than other times (This could mean it protects less or that it carries the particles better than other oils). I will only become worried when I start seeing shavings. To me it's only an additional monitoring system. Like in a tranny - powder is ok, but shavings mean save up some cash. oh and my car is now at 125k.
Pros: additional monitoring system
Cons: metal shavings initially
Mileage: 125000 km
