Lucas Oil: Why Use Additives?

Lucas Oil discusses its new programme for students and the importance of additives in a range of applications.

North Wales (July. 25, 2021) – In the first phase of a new programme, the Lucas Oil Academy has re-opened in Anglesey, North Wales, after a pandemic-enforced break. Two teams of student mechanics from a local college will be learning about the increasing role of additives and the benefits of using them in vehicles for both on the road use and under off-the-road racing conditions.

The LOA was conceived as a way of helping young student mechanics to build an early understanding about oil and additive technology, along with the changing roles these products have in automotive engineering. “You might say it’s an extension of our ‘grass roots to top rank performance strategy’, which involves educational initiatives, sponsorship for local organisations as well as other community projects,” says Dan Morgan, director of sales and operations, at Lucas Oil Products (UK).
