Personal opinion, Rotella t6 5/40 or Delo 400 5/40. Leave the lucas for somebody else its snake oil.

10-40 Mobil 1. Expensive for a reason. But I only use it in motors I plan on keeping.

I use Amsoil, but it is a personal preference. Dont buy walmart cheap oil. But as long as you have fresh oil and it is at a good level, you should be fine.

Personal opinion, Rotella t6 5/40 or Delo 400 5/40. Leave the lucas for somebody else its snake oil. I disagree. I had a 95 Saturn wagon beater car(work car). It burned oil(bad rings) when I had it given to me. Put Lucas in it, no more burning oil. Trans slipped. Ran Lucas Trans treatment. No more slipping trans.

These guys and such pour Lucas into their motors by the Gallon. I think @ 315mph they know a thing or two about things that work.

Its basically adding 80w gear oil. But hey if it works for you great. Oh and the Top fuel dragster jab was funny but have you watched them pour lucas in it? You like there products and thats fine. But I know for FACT that even the owners and stockholders laugh at the people that the marketing works on.
