Have used Rotella for a long time with no problems. If you are hung up on Lucas cut to a half ration.
Not a great believer in the need for additives. Do believe in changes being done on time. Fuel and oil cleanliness is next to godliness. JMOShawn2130, snowman1980, Brettj3876 and 1 other person Thank this. -

So does Lucas actually stick to the bearings and all inside the engine? I never tore an engine apart, after using Lucas but I did have Lucas Hub Oil in a trailer hub with a bad seal, and the bearing was still sticky after the oil was gone. Can see why that might not always be the best in an engine though.

I use a synthetic blend 15-40 from a local oil distributor. Also, I throw in a gallon of Wally World 85-90 gear oil, GL 5 per RAWZE. C o m. He’s the ISX’s guru. Check out he’s site.

I tried Lucas in my pickup. I noticed it made some minor rattling noises. Dumped the oil and filled with oil like normal. No problems. Probably too thick to properly flow.
I don't understand everyone's obsession with having high oil pressure. Pressure is resistance to flow. Higher pressure = more resistance to flow. I'd rather have the flow if the pressure is in spec.Shawn2130, Crude Truckin', D.Tibbitt and 1 other person Thank this. -
