I think any oil with a zinc additive would be a superior oil to protect against engine wear. Especially with the amount of threads you read about failing lifters, cam lobes and such.
I don't know how long the change interval is on the Lucas brand. You may want to check their website and do some research.
I plan on switching to Amsoil Z Rod 10W-30 oil which has zinc and phosphorus additive.
