[Fot] Lucas break in oil

[Bill Dentinger]

I don't have an ax to grind with Lucas Oil products, but I sure do endorse Shell Rotella as a race engine break-in oil.  I always used it exclusively in the diesel engine in my tow vehicle, and we used it to break in race engines as well.

The gear lube display often seen on the counter at auto parts stores demonstrates the climbing effect of their lube and they claim this makes it better than conventional gear lubricants, however, an experimental demonstration posted on the bobistheoilguy website revealed that the lube picked up a large mount of air compared to 'regular' gear lube.  It makes me distrust their other products.
