I use Castrol Syntec full synthetic and K&N Oil filters. Can't beat it.

The lucas stabilizer works very well at lubricating for some people, but some people have done tests and gotten horrible results. The Lucas actually made their oil foam up quickly. Which means if that was in their cars engines, unless they're paying close attention they would be needing a new engine soon
The test

I wouldn't risk it because you have no way to tell if the additives in your oil are going to react poorly with the additives in the oil, if you could test it, you still wouldn't want to risk it encase of a fluke. If i remember the biggest thing people said about Lucas was how it stuck to the pistons well so you had great lubrication on startup, some study claimed that most engines that go bad are caused by people running their cars too hard before letting them heat up and get lubricated. Just let her heat up and stay away from Lucas ;D

The transmission one has its own set of problems :p
