One thing I noticed in the test with the Lucas additive is that they used the standard Lucas. Also, in the pics and description there was no mention on the ratio of additive to oil. There is no denying the ability of the Lucas additive to add "climbing ability" to the oil. I believe this is a good thing. As far as the airation is concerned, which is obviously bad, this may be due to the ratio of additive to oil. As I mentioned before, it would be nice to see some other testing of additives. If anyone has some links to any, please post. I just don't see why an independant lab that tests oils, Blackstone, would recomend that I use it if it was not any good. They have nothing to gain, and customers to lose by their recomendation.
As I mentioned before, I have been using Lucas Synthetic in my OT car for 2 years, no problem. One quart with six of 5w30. No issues. I am currently waiting for my latest oil sample from my '02 diesel. I will post the results when it comes in. Also, I have checked my oil frequently since seeing the pics of the airated oil in the Lucas test pics. I checked it while the motor was running and right after shutting it down. Specifically looking to see if my oil appeared to look like the airated oil in the pics. My oil looked just like it had before I was using the quart of Lucas additive.
The debate rages on.
