This has all been explained in detail many times, I'm not going to repeat it.

A suggestion to you, do some research
here in the search section use "oil' or "ZDDP' as search targets, you will have to do a lot of reading and decide for yourself who to pay attention to

another great source is Lake Speed he has an oil analysis business but has also posted extensively on Youtube, well worth read or watching

w/regard to Lucas oils, from what I've seen they are a bit above the high end of what what you want for a 20w-50 oil much Zinc & Phosphorus(ZDDP)

generally you want between 1100 -1200 ppm ZDDP, out side that range wear increases Lucas 20w/50 is 1600 ppm Z per their advertising, they didn't mention P in the blurb I saw

break in oi,l for short term use, is often ~2000ppm +/- ZDDP
