Lucas sucks, not good for your engine, tests were done where it was added to oil and put in a blender type device and the oil foamed up. no good for the engine. I have used a product called restore and it works well for me, try that.

For cheap stuff...Restore does actually work pretty good.

You can also check out some JB (Justice Brothers) products.

Just my $.02 - I have a Ford Probe GT (V6) with 96k miles, 5 speed, it had a problem with losing a quart of oil every few hundred miles. That was when I was using full Mobil Synthetic 5w-30. I started using Quaker State high mileage (dark red bottle) oil and I haven't lost any since, been through a few oil changes with the stuff, I think it works awesome.
