lucas oils

Noticed they have recently started selling Lucas oil here in the uk, the fully syn 20w50 and the mineral stuff, was wondering what the general opinion of it is? any advice appreciated

Been using Lucas synthetic 20W50 since 5k miles, now approaching 38K. My indy carries them, so does at least one out of my three local HD dealers. They makes a full line of synthetics for all 3 holes.

I've been changing oils every 5k miles. With a good synthetics, no reason to change oil more often. That been said, I don't think you can go wrong with almost any good oil, syn or regular.

I seen it also, thinking I've read for yrs that its better to just pick what U like and stay with it, not change brands all the time.

I've also read that most oils today are on a lever playing field where yrs ago only a few brands were considered better.

Lucas Oil

I used to use it in my bike and I think it is really good oil. I used the 20w50 Syn. I stopped using it when it went over $10.50 a quart. I now still use synthetic but not Lucas. I've even used some Castrol 20w50 syn...before I found out it was owned by BP.
