Engine oil Shell or Lucas

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

The interesting part is that the T6 was used to tow a camper from Indiana to the Oregon coast where we are now. It’s interesting to see the viscosity, flashpoint and Moly are higher in the T6 even after towing through the mountains and more miles on the change.

Pros: higher viscosity
Mileage: 7886 km

I wouldn’t go with 0W20. Most people thicken the oil up in these when they start getting excessive oil burning. Lots of folks running Rotella 5W40. I ran it for years before I got tired of paying the premium price.

Pros: thicken oil, excessive oil burning
Cons: premium price

My mechanic added a bunch of Lucas to the oil, which he said might at least quiet it down, and it did. It's quieter now, but I can still hear it at idle.

Pros: quieter engine knock
Cons: still audible at idle

I run the diesel Rotella T6 5w-40. My catalytic converter decided to start throwing P0420 codes around 58k miles and I spoke to a shop that I am going to have tune my car and one of the techs said that they reformulated T6 a few years ago and it has more zinc in it than it used to and that might have had an effect on my cat and it's early demise.

Cons: effect on catalytic converter
Vehicle: Subaru
Mileage: 58000 km
