Product Spotlight

Keep that Modern Day Engine Alive

This month's spotlight is one of our most popular engine oil additives and one of the leading engine oil additives on the market: Lucas Heavy Duty Oil Stabilizer.

A common question our Customer Service and Sales teams hear is, "Should I use this product in my modern vehicle? Consumers are savvy and have access to more information than ever before, leading them to be increasingly cautious with the engine oil weight they select for their modern-day vehicle to properly protect their engine and the parts that may be under warranty. They question whether the thickness (viscosity) of our Heavy Duty Oil Stabilizer will change the viscosity of their lightweight engine oil...and it's a fair question.

The fact is, Heavy Duty Oil Stabilizer could change the viscosity of the engine oil and could also impact the vehicles' ability to operate some of the special systems and sensors of the modern-day engine. But not to worry! Lucas has a perfect engine oil additive product for modern engines. 

Lucas Low Viscosity Engine Oil Stabilizer is the perfect engine oil additive when a lightweight viscosity (e.g., 02-20) is recommended and the vehicle is a 2016 or newer model that may have special sensors on the engine. Lucas Low Viscosity Oil Stabilizer will not change the viscosity of the lightweight engine oil and allows systems and sensors to operate properly. This product really helps to reduce friction and, in turn, promotes fuel economy. It also can reduce wear on the metal parts and protect the engine oil from oxidation, which keeps the oil from breaking down as quickly. It also keeps the crankcase clean, which is especially important in a modern-day engine. 

Isn't it nice to know that some of our original products are still at the top of the list when it comes to sales in the automotive space, and that we have excellent newer products to serve the ever-changing automotive aftermarket space? We're committed to keeping Lucas Oil at the forefront for generations to come. 

For now, let's keep those engines alive no matter what Lucas Oil Stabilizer you use!

Lucas Cattle Company

In 1999, Forrest and Charlotte purchased an 1800-acre ranch in Cross Timbers, MO to fulfill a dream that would become what is now known as Lucas Cattle Company, spanning over 16,000 acres across 3 counties. Affectionately referred to as simply The Ranch, this massive operation is home to the largest registered Simmental herd in the USA. 2022 marked the beginning of a new genetics program to host some of the best bloodlines in the country. The Ranch also manages a large commercial herd, in concert with Purina, to develop and study the best feed products available to ranches and farms across the country. The Ranch is also home to a beautiful Cutting Horse breeding operation.

Some interesting facts you may not know:

  • 32 employees
  • 27 homes
  • 2400 registered Simmental cows, bulls, calves
  • 1400 commercial herd cows, bulls, calves
  • 48 cutting horses and breeding mares
  • Feed estimated at 24,000,000 pounds annually
  • Pastures include 46 wells for water supply
  • Harvest 9000 bales of hay and 300 acres of corn annually
  • Guest Lodge is 10,000 Sq. Ft with 14 bedrooms, sleeps 34 people
  • Ranch revenue generated through 2 live auctions - spring and fall sales
  • Maintain 425 pieces of equipment - heavy duty vehicles, and AG units
  • In 2022 and 2023, we installed 6 MILES of pipe fence and 16 MILES of wire fence

Truly the dream Forrest and Charlotte had 25 years ago is a vast reality!

The Arrow McLaren team wanted to join in on the fun too, so Alexander Rossi and David Malukas swapped roles with Cynthia Gauthier and Linsey Read. Cynthia was at the Indy 500 with the Arrow team and participated in a drive experience in the 2-seater car ride. Monster Jam returned the swap, inviting Malukas and Rossi to drive the Lucas Stabilizer Truck at Lucas Oil Stadium.

Soldier’s Wish

In 2023, Lucas Oil and Soldier’s Wish teamed up to support veterans and military families in Indiana. Soldier's Wish is a 501(c)3 organization dedicated to supporting veterans, service members, and their families.

Marine Veteran James Logan has dedicated his life to serving others, both during his military service and as a civilian. James, who is facing significant health challenges and financial hardship, was nominated and selected to receive a wish from Soldiers Wish.

Thanks to Lucas Oil and Mowery Heating & Cooling, he was gifted the funds to replace the HVAC system for his home. This vital upgrade will not only ensure their safety and comfort during the harsh winter months in Indiana, but it also will help ease some of their financial burden as well.

In addition to the heating unit, James received sideline passes and the sidecar ride to lead the Indianapolis Colts onto the field for Salute to Service during the game in November.
