[Fot] Lucas break in oil

I am likewise a distrustful of Lucas oil.  The gear lube display often 
seen on the counter at auto parts stores demonstrates the climbing 
effect of their lube and they claim this makes it better than 
conventional gear lubricants, however, an experimental demonstration 
posted on the bobistheoilguy website revealed that the lube picked up a 
large mount of air compared to 'regular' gear lube.  It makes me 
distrust their other products.

I've used high quality assembly lube, broken in the cam properly, and 
then did break in miles with Rotella.
