Another thing that people think is snake oil would be that Lucas HD stabilizer.
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.

That's why it works well I haven't ever used it in an engine with less than 150k, and frankly wouldn't use it from brand new. Sort of a band-aid, but it works

i use lucas and can say it definitely makes a difference.it makes oil pressure higher. some would say thats probably because its thicker, and thats true but it also lowered my oil temperature by 15 degrees compared to what it was running before i started using it.
