I had a duetz desiel in my trencher that had set for about 3-4months and i was going to do a head gasket, i had lucas in my oil and when we pulled the head the lucas was still on the rockers i would think that would help in the dry start-up. I know when you use it for the first time the engine will use the lucas you put in, for instance if you use half a quart you run it the first time it will show a half quart low the next check, top it off and it will be fine from then on. Even at the next oil change it will not use any the next time. I think it just stays in the upper part of the motor and will not check. It works for me i don't know about anyone else. My uncle runs a over the road truck and swears buy it. He said normaly most turn the mains at about 750,000 miles and he has had his done and they always ask how many miles he has on it, the machanic always thinks it only has 500,000 or less, and want to know why they are doing the bearings. just my 2 cents.
