When you’re in the oil business you have to be ready to put some engines through the paces testing your product. With all the varieties of oil on the market, there are plenty of claims of added horsepower by running a particular product in your engine. Lucas Oil is one of those companies in the market of providing oil and additives for the automotive industry and is working on new products constantly with the claims of less wear and increased performance. From the looks of some of their videos they are putting their own engines through the ringer to prove the quality of their products.
