Yes - confirmed by UOA.
But you haven't gotten any non-Lucas UOAs to show that they likely would also correlate with not using Lucas.
I said that since i was it was still listed in your signature.
But if you didn't think it did anything you wouldn't use it. That's my point. But you also do have a valid point of trying to sell it to others based on a UOA

I see what you mean - I'm using 15w50 the Corvettes and seeing if 10w40 HM alone works well in the Prius, Limo and Caravan.
I do think the MoS2 and Ceratec "do" something as they are friction modifiers exactly how that relates to power/wear/etc. I have no idea....I just put my faith in the power of Liquimoly....hahahahahaBut if you didn't think it did anything you wouldn't use it. That's my point. But you also do have a valid point of trying to sell it to others based on a UOA

My future UOAs that will be meaningful / worth considering will really be my wife's 06 Prius and my son's 05 Prius. Those are our only daily drivers. My 93 Corvette will be autocross raced and see some track days but I doubt it'll see 2,000 total miles annually. I'll do UOAs for the 93 at a minimum of once annually. Our minivan used to be my wife's daily and I used to travel for bike races 1-2x per month. Now it just sits and gets used only when we go out of town as a family. I bicycle commute pretty much exclusively now to a job just 7 miles from our home - whereas I used to cover the whole mid-Atlantic region in my prior career.
I generally do an oil change on each vehicle we own at least annually - but comparing a 1800 mile M1 UOA to a 7000 mile M1 + Lucas UOA is "apples to oranges".

why not give Castrol 10W-60 a run?
or you can order some Penrite 25W-70 and see how your cars like it

Why take half-measures? Go for it. 32Cst @100'C. Lucas? Psssh. I look at its weak, low viscosity with disdain.
I used this in a mostly dead 302 in a '69 F-100 that was our "farm truck". It was the only oil that gave any hot idle oil pressure.
3 on the tree, manual steering and brakes. It would carry 9000+ lbs of gravel in the bed a couple of times each winter for mud mitigation, almost ready to do a wheelie. Had a crescent shaped hole in the hood from a steel fan blade. I bet that was an interesting day. No fan clutch, must have been a money shift. Outstanding vehicle.
Truck was still running when we gave it to the new owners of the house, and years after that, as Google Earth showed it in different places on the property year after year.

Nope. Last time I tried to deliver my views in detail, I was permanently banned from that thread by a Sensitive Person.
Which I found to be absolutely juvenile, and that proved it to be a waste of time to discuss here.
People can figure out what I mean themselves, if they want to.
So you insult the entire community en mass. Why are you here again? Care to contribute vs the amateur psycho analysis?

I don’t feel insulted. BITOG can be great!
And, at other times groups of members can be demeaning, insulting and at the same time super sensitive - so if you give it back to them at all you get reported, warned and/or banned.
I’m probably going to be warned or banned for this completely true comment.
Not insulting anyone en masse, merely stating my experience. If you feel insulted, then block me. No problem!
But, as your post reveals, you didn't bother to look into anything I have stated, in 220+ posts, which have been contributions.
So, your post inadvertently proved mine.

Yes, your goal of being a pointless troll succeeded, so much so you seem proud of being banned from a thread and calling out the mods and other members. Good luck with your future contributions.
