Well, thanks to everyone for their input. I was very skeptical on using Lucas in my Lexus. Using it in my Ford Expedition is one thing, but my luxury sport tuner is a whole other issue. I will take all of your advice and NOT use it in my next oil change!

What was your experience with your Expedition?

I am curious because my girlfriend has an Expedition, but I plan to take a bit different path on oil issues with that vehicle.

It has been great in the Expo. I started using it in there at around 125k miles. It now has 230k miles and it runs like a champ!

Have you been doing any used oil analysis, or is this a subjective opinion because the truck is still running normally?

I would want to know if there was any accelerated wear from the Lucas stuff. AFAIK, only UOA can tell you this.

you should use "AMSOIL" way better than any synthetic oils, better than royal purple.
