Engine oil RED LINE or Lucas

Lucas Engine oil

I have a 2012 gmc terrain 2.4l currently at 202k. I’ve used Lucas oil and restore and protect Valvoline oil the last 50k. Still runs like a gem with 177-182-179-175 compression cylinders 1-4. Used to be 155-149-144-168 before I started using both these oils

Pros: runs like a gem
Mileage: 202000 km

Lucas Engine oil

I exclusively have used Lucas oil for my sportster motor for 5 years. The bottle looks cool, that's it. Full synthetic oil, no frills, cheap, and easy to get.

Pros: cheap, easy to get
Cons: no frills

On chilly winter mornings (SF Bay Area) the car did not like reverse or first gears. Subsequently switched to Red Line engine oil. More power, better mileage.

Pros: more power, better mileage
Cons: car did not like gears

Ran Redline 5w40 when it became purely a summer car in ~2013. ... Not seals are leaking, no issues of any form. Car has been Cobb stage 2 91oct tuned (OTS, not pro-tuned) almost 14 years, with a Crawford v2 AOS, Killer B oil pickup + windage tray being the only reliability mods, and it doesn't burn a single molecule of oil.

Pros: no leaks, no issues, no oil consumption
Vehicle: Subaru

Lucas OS works great. It's some amazing stuff, BUT. Do not go over your oil change intervals. Once the Lucas additive starts breaking down it turns to a nasty varnish. Went 7k using synthetic amsoil z-rod and Lucas OS, on a new rebuilt 4.0l. Lost a lifter and ate up the cam lobe.

Pros: amazing stuff
Cons: turns to nasty varnish
Mileage: 7000 km

Rating 1.0

I used the middle one on an old 200,000KM Porsche Cayman S that was burning oil. It made it worse, smoke started coming out of the engine when the oil cap was off and I felt like the engine would soon die.

Cons: made it worse, smoke
Vehicle: Porsche Cayman
Mileage: 200000 km
