Default Should you combine Luca with Royal Purple

I just want some info just want some opinions. This past oil change I used royal purple. My oil pressure is great except when I m getting on it ( due to oil heating up) then it drops a little bit above the 1/4 line at idle, but then goes up above 40 psi when just cruisen around town. I just want to know should I add luca to make it a little thicker that way it brings my oil pressure back up or what.
Thanks guys for any info that you can give.

40 is pritty normal thats in good operating rang but if it dosent go up when you get on it you might have a problem Loss of oil pressure is a sign of things going wrong maby your oil pump maby somthing else.
So adding somthing to make the oil pressure go up isnt solving anything.

Dont ever add lucas to your oil. That stuff can destroy an engine.

Lucas will turn your oil into FOAM.

They have an oil treatment too, it foams up your oil which can ruin a motor.

I ve ran Mobil 1 with lucas oil treatment for the past 4 or 5 oil changes. Then I decided to switch to royal purple bc I heard it was a better oil. I ve never had foam build up in my oil. I know that my brother som6969 runs it in his 2000 WS6 and my best friend Tripp 98 Trans Am runs it in his and both of them have never had problems with it, but all them run Mobil one with lucas. So I had to be the odd one and switch to Royal purple.
