Engine oil ROWE or Lucas

I use rowe on all my cars, amazing oil but it’s more expensive

I've used Rowe, no complaints

Right now I have some Lucas High Performance, but the brand is relatively immaterial to me. As long as it's a reputable brand and it meets the spec in the manual.

My Miata has almost 300k on the original head gasket I started using the far right a few times ago and I don’t leak a lick of oil

I’m not going to argue with anyone about what it does but I’ve used Lucas for a long long time I have a 93 Chevy truck with 400k miles that I have never taken care of correctly I have run it out of oil overheated it overloaded it and abused and mistreated the engine in that truck and its still able to do any thing I need it to.

I use this on my 2003 Passat 1.8T probably every 2-3 oil changes. Motor has 269,000 miles and burns a smidgen of oil on startup. The Lucas seems to help a bit.

Used it for years in high mileage motors. 215,000 on a 1.8 turbo VW

used no oil between 5,000 mile changes.

Ok, so here’s my anecdote: a friend of mine had an old Ranger that had an oil pump failing. He didn’t want to pay me or anyone else to pull the engine and replace the pump so I suggested he just throw a bottle of this in there and see what happens.

Well, his oil light went off and oil pressure improved.

I run Lucas 5w40, it’s more about doing oil changes more often rather than anything else. VW doesn’t have any special materials in the block or heads, it’s just cast iron and aluminum no different than any other.

I used both rowe 5w30 507.00 and the OEM VW HIGH PERFORMENCE 0w30 (yes 0w30) 507.00

I didnt notice any difference between the two . Wear on my oil analysis was about the same with both oils.
