In my time as a member on BITOG, I've yet to see any serious mention of Lucas oils. What is the concensus on their products? Specifically the synthetic oils and fuel system cleaners.

Lucas mc oil fixed the shifting issue I had with my quad
This PQIA chart for 5w30 synthetics shows nothing outstanding but does show a rather high Volatility. For me there are just a lot of better oils for less money.

Their marketing is better than their products.

Although i trust the results from pqia, i don't necessarily condemn a product solely on their one report.

Agreed, but as I mentioned there are better oils (or to be fair there are oils that are at least equal to or better) for less money than I've seen Lucas sold for.

I'm getting that perception. I have no desire to use it, I'm good with using major brands. I was just curious as to why it's never mentioned. You're right about the price. I've never seen it for less than $9.99/qt.

This. If I could score some Lucas Oil for the same or less than Castrol, or whatever, I'd try it.
Their 10w50 4T oil is pretty well-regarded, but VOAs and UOAs don't show anything special.
