I've used Lucus for years. I've bought cars new and put close to 400,000 miles on them and they still didn't burn oil when i got rid of them. It's very good at quieting an engine too especially with cold starts. It eliminates them. I had some oil burners years ago and it would stop the excess oil burning. That's how I got started with it, looking for something that would help.

The shop used conventional trans fluid...out of ignorance I guess. I wasn't going to bitch since it already slipped and I wasn't going to invest in a rebuild since the car wasn't worth the money. I put in a pint (?) of Lucas transmission fluid additive and a month or so later, the transmission didn't slip at all! I drove the car for 5 more years. When I sold it, it still didn't have any transmission problems. Hard to believe, I know but that stuff works! I use Lucas products in all my high mileage vehicles since then...every oil change and the transmission gets Lucas whenever they get low on trans fluid. Great stuff imo.

I've been a small engine mechanic for 20 years and I'm not really sure what this video proves other than if you run an engine without oil it's going to seize up. The fact that one engine blew up before the other could just be coincidence because you only had two test subjects. As with any science experiment there should have been a control group where there would have been an engine with no additives added. It's a cool idea and I appreciate all the hard work you put into this video.

Great video. Very good test. I worked at a municipal garage for 11 years and we kept lucas on hand. Saved quite a few engines and made noises go away. But the best one was we had a crown vic ppv 4.6 engine come in knocking was way over on service had literally half a quart of oil in it. I changed oil put a quart of lucas in it and the 5w30 oil back in. Let it run for 30 minutes knock went away and it was a rod bearing knock. And ran for another year till he got a new unit. So I'm definitely a believer in the stuff. I don't use the trans additive though. I was told by my builder that it's to slick allowing enough friction and causes sticking problems in transmission.

Project Farm Totally agree. And really if this is going to be the de facto test setup - two to three engines on just the manufacturer recommended oil viscosity as the control group. of course you’ll also want to control for room temperature since these are air cooled. Personally I’d also like to see the break in oil drained off and replaced before the actual test starts because often that has some gnarly stuff in it - and that could easily be different engine to engine. If you really wanna get scientific and take away a little bit of naysayer ammo - it wouldn’t be too hard to put together a couple arduinos to graph out rpm and temperature through the test cycle. Just need a hall sensor, and a thermocouple or two, and an Sd shield to log to. I’m not sure how you set engine speed but doing it this way would correct for an engine that didn’t start at the exact same time as another, and for running speed, because if they start going 20-25 minutes and one is 5-10% different rpm that’s 1-3 minutes of run time, which if you’re gonna do a bunch of these tests you might as well do it right and be ready for close calls. That whole test kit would be like $30-40 an engine tops. Dm me if you want more info or a hand putting those together. Testing wise - These are some that jump to my mind: recommended viscosity vs a heavier weight vs a lighter weight, or even a 5/30 vs straight 30 conventional vs partial vs full synthetic, or if you wanna split hairs maybe a rotella t5 hybrid vs the valvoline and castrol high mileage.. since those are oil + their special additive packages. Zddp additive / the various disulphides..

Try molybdenum disulphide vs tungsten disulphide, both are designed to prevent friction, even with no oil. Liqui moly was designed by the Germans to prevent world war 2 plane engines from seizing if the oil reservoir was shot at, to allow the pilot to safely land as soon as possible. Would be good to see if in fact these 2 additives really work. I've personally seen benefits with oil samples.

@@ProjectFarm I have a test to report. My friend cococted his own oil additive product trial on my slant 6 Dodge van in the early eighties. We drained all the oil out and ran it on his brand of STP-like emulsion. We drove for a long time and then emptied that stuff and turned the key and it still ran with zero in the crankcase for at least another couple of miles. That sold me on additives and later when I bought a clapped out, sand in the oil car for a few hundred and drove it a hundred miles home I tried Bardahl in it to get me the miles home. It was a Dodge Shadow with a typical 4 cylinder and overheated after starting almost immediately (bcuz oil pump completely wiped out) so adding additive taught me the engine temp did not climb. I emptied all the oil per our trial years before and ran straight Bardahl to the top of the dipstick mark- for an added 2 years before I jumped in one winter morning at zero degrees and forgot to idle her to a warm temp before driving. The engine seized in about ten minutes. I have run (and still do in beaters I buy) straight STP and try to beat the crap out of them to kill them and can't- or can't as long as I warm the engines before driving, that is. In winter the additives are about as viscous as Pooh Bear's favorite honey!

Marvel Mystery Oil is more of a top end lube, keeps the valves from sticking, etc. Not the same thing as these additives.

@@stewartmarshall4112 True. My suggestion was more for curiosity's sake for a different video. I use MMO in every oil change and my valves have always been nice and quite when using it. Slick50 was something we were paid to hock when I briefly worked at Jiffy Lube as a teenager and I always considered it snake oil used to dupe the people who didn't have much knowledge about cars and were making the mistake of trusting Jiffy Lube.

Great Job with this. Lucas won hands down as it ran nearly twice as long which also made the scaring happen deeper.

I agree with you. Test of two products that were both used in a way they were never intended to be used. Poured all the lubricant out so you are testing the absence of two products.

@webgrunt

@Dwain S&w It's a legitimate test. Most engine wear occurs during cold-starting, when all the oil has drained down into the pan, because it takes a little time for the oil pump to circulate the oil. If one of these additives leaves a residue on engine parts after the oil has drained and that residue provides some lubrication, then it is likely to reduce engine wear especially on vehicles that re cold-started frequently. Since one ran 12 minutes without oil and the other ran 21 minutes without oil, one of them does seem a clear winner.

Suggestion I have would be testing high mileage oils vs regular and seeing if they do what they claim with seals and stuff. Also would be cool to see the high mileage Lucas tested compared to regular, and same with seafoam. I've seen so many high mileage variants of things and am really curious if there's legitimately a difference.

Hello. I have been watching your channel for many years. I just wanted to say how much you are appreciated. It is evident that you have a good heart as a person and you put that into what you do. Your tests are done exactly as they should be in my opinion. It's layed back and comfortable and fun but balanced w a lot of science and intellect. I have a degree in Auto Technology and I have a small engine repair Ministry/business. I'm a mad scientist that thinks about these kind of tests myself, so I really enjoy these. Thank you for what you do and the person that you are. As far as suggestions, I have a few that I'm wondering about when you did the 2 stroke oil (supertech VS amsoil) I was thinking about how well synthetic supertech would do, not the conventional. Because I've had several instances where a rich oil mixture of conventional would run my engines (because of the borderline Flashpoint issues). Also, the 'red and tacky' grease compared to Walmart general grease. I would have liked to see their 'red-high-temp' compared to 'red and tacky'. Also, the zddp thing really needs some tests done by someone. More specifically... The Lucas zddp additive (hot rod) that supposably creates a 5000 ppm when mixed w 4.5 parts oil. I just want to see how much of a less wear scar it produces w extreme pressure. Also, does it make oil more acidic over time. The last one would b the difference between Lucas high mileage stabilizer (conventional) VS Lucas regular stabilizer (conventional). I'm not sure if the high mileage actually has zddp in it. And also you could text the Lucas synthetic compared to those other 2. It's much thinner so it would be interesting. Again, thank you so much... Have a great day!

As much as I like this video, I don't know why you didn't have a control group with a separate engine that didn't have any oil stabilizer.

It would be interesting to check the engine damage on both engines at the time that the STP engine locked up. That way we could see if the Lucas provided enough protection to allow that engine to go on working if oil was used in it once again. We could see if the extra protection provided by Lucas saved that engine....even for a short time.

Great test, except for the fact the lubricity test: we have no idea about how rough or smooth that sanding with a grinder does to the rotating sleeve. Using a jig with a piece of sanding paper applying a specific pressure to sand the sleeve down for a given amount of time should give a uniform surface after each wear test. However testing the bearing twice does remove some of that variation and the engine running test does confirm what was seen in the lubricity test. So very good test, very valuable. Kudos!

Hey Todd! Again, phenomenal work on giving the community great information about these two different products! But, what about two that are a bit more similar, more like two different products from the same brand? Would you be able to test a newer, more recently developed oil additive from STP: Ceramic Oil Treatment? And if so, put it against the older STP Synthetic Oil Treatment to see which one comes out on top? I've seen you test LiquidMoly's CeraTec before, however to my perspective, it didn't seem to perform that well considering it's pricing. I've been debating on which oil additive I could use for ONLY full synthetic applications, and I want to know if this new STP Ceramic Oil Treatment product is worth the money. As always, I love your videos. You give so much useful information out that I've gotten many of my co-workers who are also "gearheads" learning more about different products and tools! When there's no customers, you're pretty much all we watch!
