The only way to know is to change your oil and test it. Then add the right amount of Lucas for your size crank case and test it! The numbers do not lie. I can tell you that it can halp extend the life of a tired worn out engine or transmission. I have no idea how it will work on a properly working engine with normal tolerences. I am generaly against adding anything to your oil. If you want better oil buy better oil. The one redeeming thing about Lucas is that the FTC does not have a problem with them so their claims must be true. I am just worried that their formula might not mix with all other aditive packages in all oil and you might end up with two packages working against each other. Lucas maakes a motor oil as well. You might just want to buy their motor oil. Their motor already has their heavyduty additive in it and the entire thing has been designed to work together. If you think you are going to save money by buying Tech 2000 oil at Wal-Mart then add a $7.00 bottel of Lucas your are not going to be getting the best you can for your money!!! You would be better off adding a high quality synthetic to your engine. In fact even a cheap semi-synthetic hydrocraked oil would probably be better. You can get a good Hydrocraked oil at Wal-Mart they sell it as a Full Synthetic Oil under the Tech 2000 brand for $2.95. It is not a true synthetic but it is alot better then regular refined oil.

From visiting their website and reading the spec sheets it appears to me to be what my father refered to as "sawdust"... i.e. for use in worn out and damaged engines, gear boxes, t-boxes, etc.

From what I have seen it would best be used in a worn out gear box or differential.
I was told, not verified by me, that Lucas used "Bright Stock" in their stabilizer. I don't know what "Bright Stock" is ... so maybe someone can educate me.
From what I DO know, this is merely a super-thick petroleum oil ... often used as a "climbing" agent in gear oils.
