The Lucas produce I found is an oil additive. I think 1/4 - 1/2 
bottle is plenty for one of our cars. The guy I bought it from told 
me that he thought it was only necessary during breakin. I add it 
occasionally, but I'm not religious about it.

Several years ago Berg mentioned that they were having trouble with 
cam & lifter breakin, and that they were still looking for the cause 
and a solution. I never heard if they came to a resolution, but I'm 
guessing that this may have been about the time ZDDP started 
disappearing from engine oils and that this was the cause.
