Lucas makes fantastic oils. Generally the best results so far. Both "Fuel Saving" and "Long Lasting" provided incredible results.
Lucas is a brand that is wholly concentrated on lubrication, and the results show their products perform very well. Do not be quick to dismiss this brand and their product's performance!

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.

If your main goal is lowering oil temperature, M1 is recommended. Otherwise M10 and M12 are well within normal testing temperature ranges (280-300' F) and provided outstanding wear protection.

Lucas Pure Synthetic "Long Lasting" produced very little and fine scarring, but at the cost of extreme heats. This is especially evident at the base oil's 120 minute reading. The primary goal of additives with this oil were to reduce temperatures, as the scarring was already minimal.

M12 reduced peak temperatures by 40.8' F and required power by 10.85%, while also reducing peak scar size by 13.68%. The relatively low scoring of Lucas Long Lasting (N/A scored 74.46 out of a possible 100) is due to the high heat and high required power observed.
