FYI Rob. No idea how much oil you use a year but @Black02Silverado is a sponsor here. I have a $20 annual membership with AMSOIL through him and free shipping on case orders that gives me something like a 20 or 25% savings. I save way more a year than I spend on the membership over buying at Blain's Farm and Fleet who also carries the stuff. (sometimes)  And I don't buy that much really. When I get an order in early it is usually next day on by step.  

I second that emotion!

In 2018 I tested the regular Lucas Oil Booster and here's what I found:  

 

Its a surfactant, viscosity index improver, in a viscous BRIGHT STOCK oil base and comes in a synthetic version too. Its mostly needless. Think of STP but with a different name in a larger bottle.  

 

110 Cst @ 100C  very viscous. 

 

c>25, hydrotreated bright stock-based 60 - 100 %   CAS #   72623-83-7

 

Again  Bright stock was used before oils became better formulated to provide better film strength and solvency.

After all I have read on the net I decided to go with Royal Purple 0 W20 to start with. Its readily available locally and at a price same as Mobile One. Since I only drive about 7K to 8K a year buying by the case would not be suitable for me. 

Thanks one and all for your incite.

Engine Oil Additives are Big Business. Their claims are very enticing.  Even when Oil Additives are proven time and time again to be worthless, people still want to believe that there is Magic Additive.  The only ones benefiting from them are the ones selling them.
