But it does help a great deal with dry starts. Where we are told most of your wear comes from.
I have used it on my Briggs lawn mower I bought in 94.
It still runs on the first pull and has went though 4 decks that rutsed out.
It helps out small engines a great deal IMO.

I have not to my knowledge. What do the engines look like, that you have disassembled, that didn't use Lucas? I have a Troybilt walk behind that's 20 years old. Still runs perfectly and doesn't smoke. Start right up every time. Just run straight 30w. Ever try to get straight 30w off of your hands? Try to wipe 20w50 off of your hand. Pretty damn sticky to me!
I've probably saved enough money, not buying an additive every year, to buy a new engine. Or at least parts to rebuild it.
