This stuff works I just bought it from kenworth and put it in and let it run and within 5 minutes my check engine light went off after starting it back up this stuff works no lie
The gallon doesn't contain approximately 3.5 to 4 quarts. It is exactly 4 quarts.
Is that metric quarts?
@@michaelstraughn3465 LOL
It is almost like quart is shorthand for quarter of a gallon
It lubricates the fuell injector mechanism and cleans the system, it works . I've used the high mileage version in my cars for years with great results
Ive been running this in my 04 Grand Caravan for half a year now. I run it every fill up. The difference in the way it runs is incredible. Went from getting 20.6 MPG to about 22 MPG. Not only that, the low end pick up has gotten far better and it actually feels like it wants to go when you pin the accelerator down. Major improvement.

Chris Stayner google.com Been Testing Oil. Look for Sarge that has a Stevie Ray Vaughn picture at his post.You will see that using Marine outboard 2 cycle TCW3 rated oil at 1 oz per 5 gallons of gas works better and cheaper. Walmart Supertech Marine outboard oil is about $12.00 a gallon. It must be TCW3 rated notnjustbtwo cycle oil.m
Chris Stayner Google.com. Been Testing Oil. LS1 GTO,
I have Honda Civic 09 AT 46k miles, I've been using this stuff every 2 weeks for about 3 months and my car is loving it. It's insane how smoother my car feels after the 3rd bottle, it feels like a brand new motor even if you're using cheap gas.
Lucas helped with my ED ... Thank you Lucas for saving my marriage..
I added it to my Blazer and got much better gas mileage as well as power. The stuff works!
I had a float sticking on my 1981 Kawasaki a while back so it was leaking gas out of the overflow on the carburetor bowl. Put a couple oz's in with about 2 gal of gas and drove around for a while. The float freed up after about 20 mins and stopped leaking.
I use about an oz or 2 on every fill-up and have never had the problem again. This stuff works!
my 77 KZ650 did the same thing
Good stuff
I bought a 2005 jeep libby , and started using real gas vs gasahol, I added lucas and after 2 months the check valve on my gas port was fixxed .
Bro I put the whole thing in my tank and now I can travel back in time

I swear by it. Lucas injector cleaner is the best fuel additive I have ever used. From small air cooled engines to my 1989 Toyota truck that has 233K hard miles on it. (original engine).Increases fuel mileage also.Whenever I have a small engine that is running a little crappy I run a tank of gas through it with Lucas. Most of the time it will make the engine run a lot better.
I have a 98 Honda CRV with 96k miles on it, about the 2nd tank of Lucas Fuel treatment I went from 16mpg to 20 mpg in the city. I have never had any other treatment do better.
I have a story of my diesel and this lucas. before I start the story I used lucas oil injector cleaner on my 55 gallon gas drum which gets used on all my lawn equipment and a polaris ranger. so lets began the story.
about a week ago I bought a ford 2000 f350 7.3 power stroke diesel 4x4
38 gallon fuel tank. the owner had some mechanic work done and the mechanic told him 3 of the injectors are sticking or not working right. so I bought the truck with a half a tank of diesel my dad took it to work that Monday and topped it off I figured I'd be able to fill it up once every 2 weeks I was wrong that same week on a Saturday it had a quarter of a tank so I topped off again. I changed the oil hoping to help the bad injector performance didn't help. after the second fill up that week. I kinda thought maybe the sticky injector was from diesel deposits in the injector and then it hit me I remembered I had half a gallon of the lucas injector cleaner additive I added about 1 quart (a little overdoing it lol)after I added it we went to eat lunch in a town 20 miles away from where we live on our way back I noticed it was getting up there a little bit better and today it freaking spins tires now and very smooth. so i recommend this stuff for any 7.3 diesel owner.
ps my sticky injectors are still sticking
also I can't tell what mpg am getting but I think its around 16 to 17 with out lucas oil
I used a gallon of this but I did not see any mpg increase. Though engine ran smoother. I know it helped my father's fuel pump.
It increased my milage!! I get 12 more miles per 500 gal of gas! Great improvemt!!!!
I use lucas each time I fill my Blazer up. Also use Lucas Oil Stabilizer as well. Both are great.
I absolutely love this product it's proven it's self to me time a x time again
I have a 2012 bmw x5 with the n55 engine and a custom tune. on average i get about 350 miles on a full tank(20 gallons). With the Lucas complete fuel treatment I get 410 miles on a full tank. I buy the 1 quart size bottle and i get 4 fills out of it. It pays for itself almost 4 times over.
This product is awesome! I dont know but ive been having a check engine light on my 2006 honda odyssey for cylinder misfires. I was about to bring my minivan to the shop but a mechanic friend told me to try this product first. I let the fuel tank drop to almost empty and added about 5 oz of this before filling up. Man! I really felt the difference of power and the smooth engine idle run. When i turned the car back on, the check engine light went Off! I guess im going to use this product regularly. I hope my check engine light stays off.
My car is having the same rough idle and shaking would this fix it
I completely understand what you went through. I have a 2011 sonata 2.4 with 230k miles on it. It started idling funny and felt slow when I would hit the gas. But I've been using this for a couple months now and it runs super smooth. The other day at a red light I honestly thought the car turned off. I couldn't even feel it running. I'm going to try their other product now. My engine kills a quart of oil every 10 days. So I'm hoping their stop oil leak product will work just as well.
@@rodrigorodriguez464 I had a 1998 Lexus LS400 and the power steering pump started making noise and was getting kind of strange like it was going to cost me a lot of money so I put some Lucas power steering formula in that car and within a few hours the noise was gone and 2 years later the noise was still gone so there's something magic to this stuff there's no doubt about it
thanks I used it in a 1998 f150 4.6 triton it took all the rattle out was wondering if it was cost effective thanks!
Thank you for your info on this product, I do use this, but I going to use it more after hearing what you have said about this product,
Thank you again an have a great an blessed day 🙏.
This product prolongs the life of the valves in BSA Rocket3, and Triumph Tridents. Works.
Does this protect against valve seat recession too for cars that need 4*? I'm already adding lead bit would like to use this instead if possible.
I have a 2005 Cadillac i use this stuff every time i fill up and i can tell the difference in acceleration and economy in miles per gallon on regular octane gasoline.
This stuff does work !
I have 2 trucks, a 2003 Chevy Silverado and a 2005 Chevy Silverado. Both have the 5.3L Vortec. I put about 6-8 OZ of this in at each fill up. Have been using for a few years, both my trucks get over 20 MPG with 85 octane gas and I live at 8000ft elevation.
I also used this on my Ford 4.6L V8 with similar results. It's really the only crap I've found that helps with fuel mileage. I'd love to jam a camera in my cylinders to see how much carbon buildup I have.
Hey so do you have to drive a certain mileage to have the gas and the Lucas work ? Or can you just fill it up and drive it home and call it a day ?
Second tank I got better mpg. The seasonal fuel changes mpg. The rain, wind direction and hills affect mpg. My lilprissypoo toyotaco pickup got 22 hwy off car stealership lot,with original tires. Totally empty. Add a tall box canopy, 3 peak mountain tires. Add 250 lbs plus 180 driver. Wow! 18 mpg after a cleaner. 15 mpg before cleaner. I so miss my 4x4 ford ranger 6 cylinder with back country tires. Strong with good mileage.
It's like a treat for your engine.
How often do you put it in before you notice a change
Great explanation.
Is it good for ls460l?
You are staying @7:16, this is when I started using Lucos oil and from that point, the mileage drops abruptly. So what is good about it that you want to highlight Or I misunderstood something?
I have a 2017 Tacoma. It has alway averaged 22 mpg. Most of my driving is Highway. I used one 6 ounce bottle in two fill ups. Today I got 24.5 mpg. Great stuff.
Living in Californistan gas is PRICEY.
There's 4 quarts in a gallon, just saying
This gallon has about 3 1/2 qts???
This stuff is amazing I even use it in my lawn mower
😂😂😂car????
Oh you drive a honda civic... nice.
It is good stuff indeed.
That’s great what I do is wait till I am 1/8 take put this stuff in run it for a bit let it sit over nite so is soaks inside injector then haul ass on freeway to fill halfway run it until I am 1/8 again then fill tank works great. Varnish is hard to remove so sure you get small cleaning but if you let it sit strong over nite then blow them out works a lot better
Injectror spray test before/after treatment would be great.
I started using it in my Ducati to clean the fuel system, wasn’t really looking for more MPG. Anecdotally, it does seem to run better after using it for while. I just add a little squirt to every tank.
You buy the Gumout just for the bottle, does it mean the Lucas works better than Gumout?
The Bottle says Over-Treatment will not be harmful. Also, I pour the gallon into that Quart squeeze bottle to dispense into that GumOut Bottle.
"over-treatment" should not be misinterpreted, it does not mean you can dump 1/4 of the bottle in one go... it means if you go over the recommended amount by a bit its not a big deal.
I use it too and think it’s good but use it sparingly , it will end up in your oil and thicken the viscosity. Not good.
Poolarity - Life Hacks does it clean oxegen sensors.
I called Lucas Oil and found out the very small bottle is a higher concentrated mix than the gallon bottle. So, when you're measuring your 6 oz. from the gallon jug it's not really 6 oz. of the same small bottle original concentration. Lucas Oil makes the very small bottle contents more concentrated so that it's more convenient to users to keep in the vehicle.
Pp
You beat me to the punch Robert Little....lol ...I thought the same thing! 4 quarts =1gallon
The bottle actually says 3OZ for every 10 gallons, I don't know where he gets his measurements
It actually ends up 3.2 oz (128/400*10) but close enough for highway work!
It's simple math and he just rounds to the nearest whole number, he's just trying to help people save $$$ by showing that Lucas fuel injection cleaner works great. I can go about 60 more miles per tank when using the injection cleaner with upper cylinder lubrication or use it to increase pedal to the floor performance! 2010 Jeep Grand Cherokee with a 3.7L V-6 5 speed automatic trans.
0-98mph in a half mile without Lucas
0-105mph in the same half mile with Lucas (UPPER CYLINDER LUB)
less friction = more break Horsepower
SO i have a suzuki bandit which does 125miles to 21liters 3.8l to a gallon...
my fiat van does 38 mpg with this kinda lucas oil and so does my bike
my car which is a disel c2 gets a ridicolous 70mpg
My 2002 For f 150 was beginning to run just a little rough, two tanks with Lucas fixed that, but it made not difference in my gas millage.
I had the same a 02 F150 with almost 300 thousand miles I bought it at 120 something used this every 2 or 3 months never one fuel injector issue & truck ran great. Miss it.
Lucas cleaner is actually pretty solid on clean up, we used a scope in an Acura and a Jeep. Acura was not as noticable, though far cleaning to start with. The Jeep was actually pretty impressive in cleaner valve,and piston. I bought the squeeze bottle as normal container for the cars and gallon jug is the refill. Gallon of cleaner for 22 to 30 dollars, lasts a long time minus the neighbor borrowing it and using it up, though he leaves cash, little too much....bonus!
I did this the same as you thanks for the videos
i put 20 percent of a quart in my car that had a rough idle in 3 /4 of a tank of gas. after 1/3 of that tank my idle problem was gone i knew it was my injectors . and it worked great .
I use this & no issues. This stuff works! I did see on Amazon they have (4) one gallon bottles for $123.99 which isn’t bad . Considering what you’ll pay for one . I use Lucas in My mowers & Vehicles! & for those have a GDI engine this is a must have ! Due to they are notoriously known to carbon up . One way to keep the carbon deposits to a minimum one use a top Tier fuel & of course Lucas fuel treatment. In conjunction with both. That should help with controlling the carbon deposits. Also oil changes will help & use a good oil . I run a full synthetic engine oil ! Yes it’s pricey but well worth it . Better engine performance & protection & minimizes engine wear. Lucas makes a oil stabilizer which works well!
The recommended dosage is 3oz per 10 gal, which is about 0.25%. I recently up my dosage to 0.5% and I can definitely feel more power and less noise at high revs, 0-60 is much a much smoother experience, I don’t have that near redline struggle as I used to have when I don’t add any additive. Now Lucas didn’t list this 0.5% high dosage but one time I read their technical data sheet online to see if higher dosage is bad, they not only said it isn’t bad but also mentioned in their technical data sheet that they recommend a 1/2 additive to 100 gal to diesel (which is 0.5% diesel concentration like I have experimented earlier, except I added it into the gasoline instead of diesel) for diesel engines that might need a rebuild as this might fix the issue.
I wonder should we use this product on every tank of fuel?
How many oz for 0.5% tho?
@@JamesAutoDude let’s say you plan to get 10 gallons of fuel, 10gal*0.5%=0.05gal, 0.05gal*(128oz/gal)=6.4oz. Now you are good normally if just put 10 gallons of fuel after putting in the additive, you are just gonna dilute it a little, but I am a perfectionist, and I subtract 6.4 oz from 10 gallons so I get a perfect 0.5% additive gasoline mixture, lol.
Btw guys, I also get this 0.5% idea from Klotz Uplon which is a racing grade UCL(it is about twice as expensive as Lucas, I personally thinks it’s just a product for the niche market of racing, unlike Lucas is aiming for the general public, the actual formula is very likely similar), they recommend 1 quart per 55 gallon for non diesel fuel, they recommend 2 quartz per 55 gallon diesel, that’s exactly double the dosage of Lucas. I have a heavy foot and enjoys a bit of extra power, but I also don’t want to pay extra if Lucas does the same thing.
Hi @@davidgruen7423, How frequently do you use it?
Fantastic upper cylinder lubricant. Excellent job reducing upper cylinder wear. Also lubricates in-tank fuel pump up to the high pressure mechanical pump & fuel injectors in D.I. engines really well, great for reducing the negative effects of that crap ethanol in the gasoline.
Jay use Marine outboard two cycle TCW3 rated oil at 1 oz per 5 gallos of gasoline. Google.com. Been Testing Oil GTO LS1 and read what they found using tcw3 oil does in the fuel system I've been doing it for ove r a year in the Jeep and Ridgeline. It works.
Arthur Smith thank you I'll check it out
An amazing product, it actually works, make me feel my car is a brand new car, love it
128 oz's in a gallon...32 oz's in a quart....4x 32 = 128
I've used other stuff like Zmax and Chevron techron treatment. Zmax made the cylinder heads to my 4.8 truck dirty and Chevron emitted alot of nitric oxide smell which was supposed to get rid of it. I'll try the Lucas treatment next
Seafoam
i use lucas in every fill up i get better millage and better performance
the small bottle of lucas sez it will treat up to twenty five gallons of gasoline i don't believe in mechanic in a can but this stuff does work
I burn ethanol free fuel and add 6oz to a full tank and it definitely seems to help with a little more hp feel and better mpg in my 07 toyota yaris
1 of my injectors is staying open and is causing a check engine light. My vehicle also hesitates while driving. Will this product help it?
Just try it,should works
How many ounces of Lucas fuel injector cleaner should I pour into a 14.5 gallon tank in a VW Jetta SE 2009?
About 4.35 oz. of Lucas FI cleaner if they recommend 3 oz. per 10 gallon of gas.
This product damage my fuel injector pump after I put in my diseal fuel tank the fuel injector pump failed i open my oil and saw it was full of oil and mix with diseal we test the oil and diseal was in the oil took off the fuel injector pump and saw the rubber rings around the four injector delivery pipe the rings were damaged cuz they were rubber I think it did damage them but not sure it was working fine before engine is kubota v2203 on a reefer trailer
The real problem with it is you can't be lazy, for it to really do its job you must put in two ounces for every ten gallons until its all used. This can take a while but it removes all of the residue from ethanol. I tell every person that they should do it to save them thousands of dollars in repairs
I think the main reason UCL works is because it lubricates valve seats so the valves seal better. It also helps the upper piston rings seal better, reducing blow by.
will the lucas fuel cleaner make my car not want to stay running is stalling out to start have to hold gas to floor to start car then it will not stay idling it is a 1992 saturn sl series can you tell me what may be the problem please
Sunny Collings you may have a evap problem i had a impala that did that and when i put gas in it had really hard time getting it to start and stay running the probalem was do to an purg valve not properly working
No seriously though I put the one quart bottle in a whole tank of gas my Mercedes C300 has an 18 gallon tank I just filled my tank up... I ended up with 38 miles per gallon when I normally would average 31 miles per gallon
Yeah, but do the math. Did you really save any $$$ versus just purchasing more gas for your car? Unless you got it on sale, this stuff is roughly $12 per quart, your vehicle achieved a 7mpg increase in fuel economy. 7 x 18=126 miles increase overall. $12 should easily buy you 4 gallons of gasoline even if you use premium in your Mercedes. If the car normally got 31mpg you multiply that # by 4 and you'll get 124 miles so the car basically traveled the same distance for the same amount of $$$. Hopefully it remains @ 38mpg cuz that would really be the only noticeable savings by purchasing this product(and if some of it's other claims are true can help prolong the life of the engine)
I buy Lucus by the gallon from Wal-Mart. It's about $26 for the gallon or around $6.50/quart. Much cheaper than the quart alone at around $10! Most expensive is the small bottle at around $4 for 5.25 oz.
With the gallon, I divide it up into 16 oz containers and add 8 oz to my 2007 Toyota Camry, 2.4 L, which holds around 17 gal. Getting at least 6 mpg more on interstate travel, but not a noticeable improvement in mpg in city driving.
Good vid - thanks...
How is this different than the Lucas deep clean fuel system cleaner?
One cleans and one lubes
That product is really good for your car. 🚗
New to this Lucas stuff. I bought a bottle of Seafoam. But I think this where I need to be. I’ll just keep the bottle and refill it.
Every vehicle - every tank - always....👍
I dump half the bottle in. I own a 2014 corolla S plus with a cvt and in Oregon so we run 90% of gas in the state with ethanol and a few stations have Non Ethanol premium so when I don't want to fill up for 40.00 a tank I spend 25.00 fill up my 14.5 gal tank and dump this awesome stuff inside and fuel economy is amazing
I accidentally put some in my coffee.. I fart as smooth as a kitten now.. just purrs..
Well thought out video. Thanks👍👍
You are an idiot just like this up loader.
Hmm wonder what gets you more mpg 10 bucks of this that “may” boost mileage or 10 bucks worth of gas?
I thought the same, Price wise it may be near break even, but the Lucas gives you the added benefit of clean injectors and cylinders when used on a consistent basis. Good overall for perf and longevity.
If you buy Lucas by the gallon, you get 25 - 5oz treatments, that's $1.00 per 20gallon tank full of gas. If you get just 1 mpg more per gallon , it pays for itself and you get the added benefit of clean injectors , valves and lubricated cylinders.
Wow thanks
can I use this in a Benz or is it meant for only older cars?
All cars
I use Marine outboard two cycle TCW3 rated oil at 1 oz per 5 gallons of gas every time I get gas. Been doing it about two years with great results. Works like Lucas but much cheaper. Google. Been Testing Oil LS1 GTO. Sarge and friends did the testing. Great read even if you don't do it. Many people do the Marine oil. It must be Marine TCW3 rated not just two cycle oil.
I did the same thing on my 95 oldsmville cutless don't be a cutlass my brother told me it would ruin things in the engine but I was running 2 cycle marine oil in it every Philip and I went from about 24 miles to the gallon to almost 29 and a 1/2. Is something about having a small amount of oil in the gasoline does something to the combustion that I can't understand but it works
One Gallon =Four Quarts!
Thanks, I prefer the metric system myself.
My 4 y.o. knows that four quarts = one gallon - JEEZ-US!! Hopefully adults that don't know BASIC math aren't breeding!!
@@PoolarityChannel I feel like you are not really good with either, just saying. I prefer metric too but is only because I was born outside of the US and grew up with the metric system, but with that being said it’s good to know the conversion between gallons and quarts as it is very common in the US and it’s quite useful too as it is easy to visualize a 1 gallon size container. And personally I just equate 1 quart to 1 liter as they are pretty close.
@@davidgruen7423 I yes, without Google, I am not good with conversions. That is the problem with Google now, dependency.
I use this in my porsche, keeps them cylinders lubed up!
Me too. I hope it prevents bore scoring.
Whats the difference if you put it in before or after fill up?
I realize this response is a little late...
I would imagine that it gets mixed up with all of the fuel better if you put it in an empty tank as opposed to just floating it on top of your full tank of gas....just a guess, obviously.
also, if you add it after you fill up, your tank is overfilled which could cause fuel to 'leak' in to the evap system learned that the hard way when i had to replace a $125 part :-)
if you put it in before fill up the gas will mix with it better than if you put it in after
Makes no difference. I pour into full tank - fuel sloshes around the second you start driving , it's fully mixed in seconds.
@@AZDESERT2024 yes, finally someone with sense. As soon as you turn the ignition on and especially after hitting the throttle, mixing in effortlessly. Makes no difference before or after.
All gas engines will love this stuff. It is amazing how it works. I try and tell people all the time to use it. I will make your car run so smooth and efficient best used with 93 octane petrol.
93 octane petrol means and does nothing... 93 octane RON or 93 octane (R+M)/2? :}
higher octane gasoline offers no benefits when used in an engine that requires lower octane gasoline.
gas stations have different formulations for their gasoline, some may contain more detergents than others...
@@duroxkilo more HP though.
@@oocloudoo1549 where
My 2012 cruze loves this and 93 octane. Putting in tomorrow.
93 on a cruze? It is worth more than the car!!! Lol...
@@leckers15 I'm putting only premium in my cars you know, smoother experience and more miles per gallon, I only drive Daihatsu with a 1.3 16v and a 0.6 16v too
Watch Project Farm on YT. You will know...
@@leckers15 Yeah I know that guy but I mean, here regular have 10% ethanol, and it makes a difference…
Supreme is only 5% ethanol
Definitely feels the difference !! I’m European
Is it worth the €€€???
I used to do that too and it is true that it drives smoother and a little more kms.
Where in eu?
Can it be used with unleaded 10% ethanol gasoline ?
Yes absolutely
Better than Seafoam?
I mix this with catnip and the dog smokes it. Now he can jump 8 feet high....the mix ratio is secret.
I have a video where I put 32 ounces of diesel additive in my 2001 Cadillac Deville with a Northstar engine. Why did I do this? Because I wanted to see how bad the engine would run. Well 136 miles later and the engine seem stronger and it got 23 mpg mix driving. Before it only got 18.5.
Stuff works!!!
Hey guys I have been scratching my head for a while on how this Lucas actually works, because it definitely makes some difference, but one can also argue it’s a placebo. I have sent Lucas at least 2 emails so far asking them how it works, they either don’t tell me anything, or just send some Panama guys with broken English giving me no useful content just so it’s considered “answered”, so mean! Anyways, based on my knowledge and work on cars for the past few years, I think Lucas makes car run better in two ways primarily. First, it’s a good fuel injector cleaner, which helps make dirty fuel injector atomize the fuel better, helps with combustion. Second, it helps lubricate the upper piston rings and gives it a better seal and improves and evens the compression differences between the cylinders so that it runs more powerful and smoother.
It took me 3/4 of a gallon when my car’s range per 52 litres improved from 490km to 540km.
that small bottle on the in the tank is fine..just do it twice a year.
so do you save money using it on a fill up or lose money adding it?
Trent Slay so I watched ChrisFix videos where he puts a camera into the piston shaft to see if Fuel Treatment clean carbon deposits. Overall if you do it back to back it seems to help. The Gallon is $22 good for over 24 treatments. Each Treatment gets me 1/2 gallon extra which only means $1 saved per full tank, so its break even, but the car runs smoother. this is noticeable for old cars, plus it cleans my the fuel injectors. So I find it to be worth it.
Trent Slay to be more specific on the calculations, I normally get 20 mpg, when I refill its 10 gallons on a 12 gallon tank, so for simplicity its 200 miles on 10 gallons. when I use this I get 20.5 to 21mph or 205 miles per 10 gallons to 210 miles per 10 gallons, 5 to 10 miles more or 50 cents to $1 extra worth of gas. The gallon has 24 treatments of 6oz each. So you do it more for injector Cleaner not necessarily for mileage savings. if you drive Highway you'll see more savings.
Trent Slay you lose money. I get it free by the gallon, but I stopped picking it up because it's not good to use back to back.
Does anyone know that this product helps filters out bad gas?
Antiwan T liquid heat
I use it for every fill up and I see the difference when I don't use it
Would it be okay to use it every fill up? It won't damage the engine or anything?
@@nl___999 not at all. It actually quiets the engine. Just follow the dose amounts and use every fill up. Usually 2 oz per fill up works fine. More for larger tanks
I did this thank I just sub
If this stuff contains oil and lubricants wont that build up in your muffler and clog up your catalytic converter?
Luis Rodriguez Don’t over pour and use the smaller bottles per fill up
@@juniorsaucedo1618 thank you, but in theory this will make your car last longer because of anti wear lubricants?
I tried this stuff for the first time on my 60,000 mile 2009 Honda CRV before a long trip this week. I don't know if it increased mpg. What I got was exactly what I'm supposed to get on the hwy which is 29 mpg. While it did no harm, I am leery about using it at every fill up. Not sure how long term use will affect sensors, cat, fuel pump and fuel filter. I'm going to use it once every six months but no more. I trust Techron alot more than this oily Lucas stuff.
Nick V where do you live that you get 29 mpg, I notice I get 2+ more mpg in warm months. the element and CR-V are basically the same care with a different shell
New Jersey. Trip was Monday 350 mile roundtrip taking my kid back to school at UConn. Of course, my wife did the trip without me so I don't know if I could have squeezed 1-2 extra MPG if I drove. The oil I use is Mobil 1 Full Synthetic and oil life monitor is at 90%. I'll use the Lucas again in July when we drive down to the OuterBanks on vacation and see if I do any better. I doubt it because the car will be loaded down with 4 people, a dog and supplies.
in PA they use winter and summer gas blends and I get a lot better mileage in the warmer months with the summer blend. if you do a google search on winter vs summer gas blends it will give the technical reason why but in areas where they use both, you will get better MPG in the warmer months. if I put non ethanol gas in I get even better mileage. ethanol is crap when it comes to MPG. there is a station near me that has a non ethanol pump but its really expensive.
germanshepherd13 just in the recent month, warmer weather and I now get 22.5 mpg instead of 19 mpg
Actually any kind of fuel injector cleaner will work. Don't expect results right away for any kind of chemical cleaner. I use some twice a year.
I have a 2004 Nissan Maxima SL 3.5 V6 [158k] and has been dealer maintained from day one. I was getting about 27 to 29 mpg and that was with regular dealer injector cleanings and I started using this Lucas Injector Cleaner almost every fill up and recently my Mother passed away and I had to make that dreaded trip to Colorado and I filled up at a Valero station and added the usual 6 - 8 ozs to 20 gallons and going up I 17 to Flagstaff, Az which is a climb I was averaging about 28 mpg but once I hit the flats of I40 it bumped up to 34 to 36 mpg @ 70 to 80 mph and I averaged that pretty much the whole way. Coming back I filled up at a Conoco station and put mid grade and the usual 6 to 8 ozs of the Lucas and I shit you not I averaged 44 mpg going through Pueblo, Co. and into New Mexico and I actually took pictures of the screen for average mpg and then I started hitting the mountains and the mileage started going down a bit and one picture was the trip gauge and fuel gauge and at a half a tank I had gone 350 miles which I did average 35 to 37 mpg on the return trip. This is the only product I have ever noticed a real difference with. By the way, I DO NOT use my cruise control because it will eat more fuel trying to maintain the set speed and won't allow coasting down inclined highways. I buy the 1 qt. Lucas Injector Cleaner at Wallyworld for about 8.97 + tax.
Ken Doe this stuff is most noticeable when on long trips and highway miles, it works...thanks for sharing
I also use this in my '97 F250 Powerstroke 7.3 with 277k and still have the original injectors. The cost of Lucas Injector Cleaner vs New injectors is a no brainer.
How often should i use it?
I use it 6 times in a row, every 6 months. And that just seems to work for me. Some people use it constantly. Others use it only when they go highway miles.
