Does anyone know anything about the Lucas oil company, what's in their products, who they use for a blender and so on?

Lucas is located in Southern California. They blend their own products including their oil. Lucas has a web site and a telephone. Give them a call and talk to them. They answered my questions without hesitation. I am sure they will do the same for you,
While their products aren't the toast of the town at BITOG, millions of people use Lucas products
BTW, having read a few of your topics/posts about Lucas, why are you now asking details about them....well after the fact of you being critical of them in numerous posts?
If you like to troll, get a fishing boat.

Calling them is great, but I though someone might have some information based on contacts or experience. Have I said one bad thing about their products. No, just that their advertising has finally got my interest. A Lucas guy at the races that talked to me about their products completely trash mouthed Amsoil and Mobil, but could or would not answer questions about what's in the bottle. I just thought that there would be some more info amoung members, here. Sorry, I'll stop.
Lonnie don't worry about it. Someone here may have your Lucas info your looking for.

They sell Lucas 5w40 synthetic at Canadian Tire now but it's over $14 a quart! It's more than Redline there.
If it's THAT radical, I don't want it in my roller skate Hyundai. The cat would take one puff and choke to death..
When we went from Mobil 1 to Chevron Supreme Synthetic for part of a fleet operation but we needed a 5w-20 that Chevron did not supply in CSS and after a bit of testing choose Motorcraft. But in the process we tested a bunch of 5w-20's over a 6 month period in high mileage per month vehicles. Again these tests are a bit unfair in bitog terms because the oil is getting changed at warranty intervals. At least a fair amount of these vehicles where involved in a lot of stop-and-go driving. Well, Lucas was in the loop because we have a lot of racers in the shop. From those guys you'd thing Lucas oil would win the day. They talked about it like the advertising, proof that Lucas is wining the marketing wars as is Mobil 1, without reguard to what really in the bottle. Motorcraft 5w-20 was the pick and would still be the pick even if you ignored the price. We ran a lot of numbers based on the snitch chip info and built a computer model that represented mileage, wear numbers, severity of operation, vehicle info, and product cost. We are turning this model into a data engine that will rate the performance of given components in a vehicle system on a running basis with a percentage of accuracy number. I'm trying to take some of this work public as in a for-profit business but my requests are falling on deaf ears.

Again MAJOR inconsistencies. What is up with you? You post negative statements about Lucas, then you start a thread asking if anyone has information on Lucas... Now you post about not only knowing people that use Lucas but you hint by the term "in the loop" that your endeavor tested Lucas. Why the games? Either come clean or quit posting on this subject

I use Lucas Fuel Treatment in both vehicles that we own and used it in the previous vehicle that I had. I use it at the rate of between 2 - 3 oz per 10 gallons of gasoline. I use it in every tank when I buy fuel. I always add it before pumping so it gets mixed up good.
I have no experience with their motor oils or other products .

Keep up the good work Loonie!
tenderloin, have I said Lucas was a bad oil? I was hoping someone here with some knowledge of Lucas could pipe in. I guess that's not you.
Maybe someone should do a VOA of Lucas to see whats in this stuff ?
I've used their UCL and it does *slightly* increase gas mileage in 5 different cars, but I'm not sure if it cleans at all.

Lucas products are probably as good as any in their price range, but their goodness may have no relation to the volume of their advertising. Same with Mobil 1. With a little knowledge and help from friends one might pick a product just as good for a bit less money.
Hey Loonie!
What are the subject engines? It doesn't surprise me, under warranty-level service (I'm assuming a 3000-3750 "Severe" service OCI, since most specs name stop and go as the first circumstance defining "Severe") that Motorcraft would be the One even aside from price. However, wouldn't any 5W20, SM/GF4 dino or blend accomplish the same task at that OCI?
This kinda squares with what certain "gadflies" such as Utah Bill have been telling us for some time now, that under SM/GF4 Dino, 5K OCI and below, buy price, not label.
Agreed?

Isn't that what I said we discovered? And thanks for addressing me as Loonie, your manners present a good image of yourself.
sorry, Lon, I didn't mean that, honest
There was nothing loonie in the thread, except, you're going to MC, but since ANY SM/GF4 does the trick (as you "discovered"), why not buy bulk Coastal, QS, or Pennzoil dino? It's surely cheaper than the MC, for the same result. Sounds like a lot of OCing going on, why even go to the expense of the MC?
Again, sorry about the mis-spell.
QUEST! Your turn. Now apologize for your typo..

OK, my bad for typo Lonnie! (I got it right this time, didn't I)
With carpal tunnel syndrome acting up every now and then, I am known to make typos and mistakes on all the boards that I lurk around.
Again, keep up the good work Lonnie! I look forward to some solid reports for Lucas products.
