Incredible base oil performance -- one of the best 30 rated oils tested so far, surpassed only by another Lucas oil ("Long Lasting"). With additives, this outperforms almost everything else. The base oil had a bit of initial resistance that required easing the weight onto it. More than others, but less than most. Performed better than expensive "performance" oils such as [[Royal Purple]] or [[Mobil-1]]. Low power usage, very low operating temperatures, and incredible wear profiles. All-around excellent results. | Incredible base oil performance -- one of the best 30 rated oils tested so far, surpassed only by another Lucas oil ("Long Lasting").

Incredible base oil performance -- one of the best 30 rated oils tested so far, surpassed only by another Lucas oil ("Long Lasting"). With additives, this outperforms almost everything else. The base oil had a bit of initial resistance that required easing the weight onto it. More than others, but less than most. Performed better than expensive "performance" oils such as Royal Purple or Mobil-1. Low power usage, very low operating temperatures, and incredible wear profiles. All-around excellent results.
M1 provided great results while reducing the operating temperature of the oil. This would work well for street vehicles without external oil cooling.
M10 and M12 both provided outstanding results but with generally increased temperatures. In either case, even the highest temperature recorded was lower than that of many other base oils. These would work well for performance vehicles preferably with, but not requiring external oil cooling.
Long Lasting 5W30
Recommended blend:
Lucas Pure Synthetic "Long Lasting" produced the least scarring of any base oil, but at the cost of extreme heats. Our primary goal with this oil was to reduce temperatures, as the scarring was already minimal. No other oil has come close to the wear performance of Lucas "Long Lasting".
