If you use proper-spec oil, don't mess it up with Lucas.
Stick to M1 0w40 Euro Car Formula or the dealer-supplied Formula M (wonder if they still use that) and don't add any snake oils or oil treatments to the car.

Drive more, worry less!

On no account put any additives into the 229.5 approved engine oil.

Lucas oil just changes the viscosity, it doesnt have too many additives to help out with wear.

If you go to bob the oil guy they have a blackstone lab analayze it, and its crap lol

Why? What problems are you having that you're trying to fix?

In general, stay away from any sort of oil additives. Your engine oil already has everything the engine needs.
