Do you mean Lucas oil treatment?

Whether it is Lucas, lukas, or another, it is a bad idea. Oil additives are specifically not recommended (see your manual).

I always enjoyed the article about additives on the website Bob is the Oil Guy. I hadn't remembered that they actually tested Lucas, but they did. See the link, and see how disastrous it can be to put this in your engine.
