I use it in my older lawn mower & it definitely reduces oil burning & consumption.
Im sure everyone has seen that lucas display on the counter at parts stores, where you turn the handle to rotate the gears, its easy to see how it clings to the gear teeth & will climb up to the top of a series of gears compared to oil without lucas that barely climbs up 1 or 2 gears. It does what its advertised to do.

That would increase parasitic drag significantly right? We put wipers on crankshafts to reduce this. A worn out lawnmower is another thing obviously.
