Many oil additives are nothing more than viscosity improvers. They help keep the oil thick or viscous so that they don't thin out quite so fast, particularly true when using multi-vis oil instead of straight grades. But the multi-vis oils have improved a lot in recent years and thinning is not the problem it once was, it stays in grade a long-long time, so consumption should not be a problem because of poor quality oil. As for me, I would rather use a heavier vis oil if consumption is a problem, rather than mess up the chemistry the oil company put in their product.For example, Mobil Delvac or Chevron Delo oil has millions of dollars of chemistry dollars spent on them to offer a good product for our use, why should I do my own witches brew of additive to "improve" what is allready there? Lucas is going to be at odds to some degree with what Shell or Mobil or Chevron or whomever put in their oil. As to Gear oils, you felows may want to look into Chevron Delo Gear, it is truly an outstanding product that needs no Lucas or anything else to prop it up. Delo Gear has much more oil film strength than conventional blended oil does, yet is not a synthetic and will mix with any oil allready in the gear box. It's the only non synthetic approved by Eaton Corporation for extended warranty use. Excellent product, no need for Lucas.
