The only way to truly tell how much it helps would be to pull the engine apart and look inside.
I have seen a few people actually do it, and the results made me want to run it. IIRC, it was only like $15, and even if it cleaned some of the sludge out, it would be worth it. I did it at 50k intervals
Another thing that people think is snake oil would be that Lucas HD stabilizer. I'll be the first one to say that it is absolutely not. I have used it with success on multiple vehicles(only one of mine) and it quiets them down every time

Before anyone believes this...Id suggest taking a glance at the tests conducted concerning oil viscosities with and without.
The newer oils do not need "viscosity improvers" and do better without them.
As for the noise issue...if I were to pour light cane syrup into your engine while it was running, it would likely run quieter...that does not mean it would help the oil lubricate better.
Ive pulled down engines that ran lucas at every oil change...and were given oil changes at suggested intervals. SLUDGE. Thicker isnt better. Not anymore.
