Schaffer Oil Moly EP would thicken like Lucas but actually has some additives, I would use STP over Lucas because it also has additives and not just heavy bright stock. Schaffer Moly EP isn't super expensive and available from Amazon.

Thanks for the suggestions. Does Scaffer or STP not foam up like Lucas supposedly does?
Then there's also MotorHoney but I don't know what it has or doesn't have.

Has anyone tried Valvoline Maxlife HD oil in oil burners? I have noticed considerably reduced oil consumption in gas engines after switching to HM oil but have not owned a diesel. Of course, the cause of the burning will determine whether HM oil helps, but I would start here instead of additives. After all, it is only a few $ more than normal oil.

I'm probably going to be trying it. It seems to be thicker. Go check out my thread in the diesel oil board about it:

If you want thick, good, and cheap, I think Mystik JT8 15w-50 is calling your name. You'll save a little coin not buying a "stabilizer".

He did provide the correct answer, though. I'd say you shouldn't use it, but that's not what you're asking. However, his answer is correct because it should be fairly trivial and very cheap for a blender to come up with a Lucas clone. Dumbing it down would be the real challenge.
