Agreed.  I have a client where I work who owns a Mercury Villager with the 
Nissan V6.  Recommends 5W30 year-round.  He chooses to put in 10W40 PLUS Lucas 
Oil Stabilizer in (brings his own parts).  One of my techs dumped the 
stabilizer in a funnel while adding it for him, and it took about 2 minutes for one 
quart to slowly ooze into the engine.  Last winter I saw the customer stuck at a 
Pizza Hut - couldn't get the car to start.  I suspect the thick gel he had in 
the engine had something to do with it.  The next time I saw him in the shop 
he had some nasty valve train clanking.  I'm sure that Lucas stuff DOES stick 
to the cylinder walls longer, but imagine your poor oil pump trying to suck 
that stuff up on a 20 deg morning????

No wonder your D won't start, even in Dallas!
