That's an interesting test in a garage.
Here is a real life, real world, summer in NY story.
I had a 92 Chevy Caprice my friend "lent" to me after I sold my car. I'm driving along one summer morning and the oil pressure srops, the car stalls, and dies.
I restart it and the same thing happens. I'm only about five minutes away from my mechanic (a good and trusted friend). I drive it to his shop and keep it running by dropping it into neutral and revving when I must let off the gas. This keeps the car running until I get to the shop.
I pull the car in and he checks it out. No oil pressure. He calls his motor guy. The guy tells him that this motor is known for the bearings going but because of the way they are situated, you might as well rebuild the whole engine if you are going to replace the bearings. Bottom line, the car isn't worth fixing.
He tells me to throw some Lucas in and see if it'll last me any longer, then dump the car. I change the oil and put in 4 quarts 5W20 and 1 quart Lucas. The idea being the heavier weight oil will still be able to be mover by the bearings.
Well, the car lasted me a year. I didn't take any long road trips or anything, but, I drove around town with no problem. By the next summer, I could only drive her like ten minutes until the oil got warm and she lost pressure.
Bottom line, Lucas worked for me and I use it in my oil and tranny.
I'm still undecided about putting it into my wife's brand new Explorer though.
For what it's worth, I believe in Lucas products.
