Now you did it, You should have never said this is your first post........... just kidding
The lucas heavy duty oil maybe okay in the early minivans, but the newer van. Because it will cause the check engine light on.

 

however, does it extend the life of the motor oil in between changes?

 

I have used the Synthetic Lucas in my vehicles for years on every oil change. In my Dakota the oil pressure improved from a hot idle 20 psi to 25 psi. And in my wife's Infiniti I30 all the upper end engine noise disappeared. I plan on putting it with synthetic oil in my Caravan when I get it running.

 

I haven't used an any kind of additives while maintaining vehicles for nearly 40 years. Never had the need. Never had an engine wear problem. Never had a mileage problem. Maybe I'm blessed.

 

If you use a good quality synthetic oil and filter then there should be no need for additives.
