Been using this in my F350 since I got it, its now up to 480k miles and has never broken down!
I have a 1.2 million miles detroit 60 12.7l and I don't drive without Lucas products. I use 2 gallons of Lucas oil additive at every oil change plus constantly every day every time I fill up my good old truck I add this Lucas additive. So my Lucas motto is .... LUCAS OIL , YOU GOTTA HAVE IT!😍😍😳😀😇 ....Good VIDEO thanks
After trying Lucas in my Honda 50hp outboard, it began to start easier after sitting for a while and ran much smoother. It definitely improved the engine's performance. I am convinced it delivers what it promised. Don't knock it till you've tried it.
which product did you use for your outboard, im looking to use on mine also, how do you mix it in just in the gas tank with premixed oil ?
Jerry Hogan Thanks for the info Jerry. Will be sure to try it this spring.
I've been using this on my Acura Vigor for about 5 years now and the car is still running top notch. The car is required to use 91 octane or higher but decided to drop to 87 regular cheapy gas since the price for premium really spiked compared to regular gas; that too was about 5 years ago. The car always starts immediately, runs excellent, passes emissions checks as before. No pinging issues due to lower octane fuel so that's why I still use 87 octane, but supplement that fuel with the Lucas. At over 350,000 miles on the car, and only 1 quart of oil consumption at a 5,000 mile oil change interval, I trust its value.
This is the best fuel additive I have ever found. If you have never used it and are going to put it in use it on the highway and burn at least 3/4 of the tank then change the oil. The deposits that it will remove will end up in the oil for the most part. Buy it by the gallon, use it at on every tank of gas and change your oil more often for the first 4-6 oil changes...
Why would it end in the oil?
Makes no damn sense
Redline sl-1 is the best
@@DrAlmurshidy it will dissolve carbon deposits that will get into the oil.
Used it for years, works good.
I have used this product for years and never have to clean the throttle body or injectors in my 300,000 mile truck. Got at least 1MPG improvement when I started using it.
However, one point to be aware of is that undiluted it will melt rubber. I know this because I keep my bottle of Lucas in a rubber boot behind the seat to keep it from tipping over and some of it will get on the boot which has melted away. So as most fuel systems have rubber hoses etc I would not advise adding any more than the directions say or adding a full tank dose before the next fill as I often did with my wife's car, which now floods and wont start if you top it off. I figure it has melted the one way valve in the fuel vapor vacuum purge line allowing raw fuel to enter the manifold when filling the tank. Once this clears out the car runs fine. Just thought I'd let others know of this potential problem.
Don't know why there are so many bad comment about this stuff? I think their stabilizer is snake oil but this stuff actually works for most people. The benefits can be seen in older engines with higher milage. The UCL will smooth out the idle, give better response and possibly give better MPGs. Worked in my car anyway! But you will not notice any difference in a new car that is still clean and efficient
My carburetor float was sticking (causing it to leak out of the overflow drain) in my 1981 Kawasaki kz 750. Put about 2 Oz in a full tank of gas and it unstuck and stopped leaking after running it about 10 mins. made a believer out of me.
honestly 3 mpg more in three spplications on a 1991 5.0 liter Ford van engine...I used to smell an excess of fuel all the time, no more smell and mpg jumped. I think the injectors were not atomizing correctly and just dripping fuel. Mileage has gone from 9-11 to 15.3! I swear it's true. No wonder they sell this stuff by the gallon. I've never believed in fixes by a can but this product works. I'm 52 I've seen a lot of them take my money without results.
This Lucas product is AMAZING. I got a solid 3 more MPG increase and my engine runs like silk. I have 150,000 on my engine and plan to join the 300,000 mile club. This additive really does work.
Good review. I have had similar results. I have noticed about a 10% increase in miles per tank than before I started using the Lucas product in my dodge.
Lucas products rock!
Works great in lawn mowers too. Helps clean from all that ethanol in gas crap they sell nowadays.
25.97 A Gallon At Walmart I Just Bought It . Great Video . I Just Shot A Lucas Video Myself About 9.97 A Qt Or 25.97 A Gallon If You Bought 4 Quarts That Would Be 40.00 . Iam Taking My Unopened Quart Back To Walmart
My 1997 Merc. Villager w/ approx. 200,000 miles was running very badly. Mechanic said one or more injectors were sticking, and it's always best to replace them all. A friend who had been a professional mechanic before retirement said to try Lucas Oil in my fuel at double concentration for two tanks full. Before I emptied the first tank the issue was resolved and I've been using it ever since. It saved me more than the value of the car.
BTW: When I told him I had been using Marvel Mystery Oil, he said it had gummed up the injectors.
James Thompson
360,000 on my sequoia running marvel mystery oil in every tank. Still runs perfect and these are the original fuel injectors. Mmo used as the label says, 4oz per 10 gals gas does no harm.
If your car gets 25' and this boosts it to 26' then you use 4% less gas: in California where gas costs about $5, thats equivilant to a 20-cent discount per gallon, which is an $80 value in fuel savings per gallon jug of fuel additve if dosed over 400 gallons. And by some metrics it can actually treat about 425 gallons!
I bought a gallon of Lucas and use it in my 2001 Land Rover Discovery II and my wife's 2011 diesel BMW X5. It works great!!!
all lucas brands work like charm....allways giving good quality for less price!!!!!!
Lol I really can’t believe how well this stuff works! ...I added 5oz with 15gals of diesel and man I swear I could feel a different the moment I pulled out of the gas station! (2005 f350 6.0 lariat superduty dually)
I throw 2 oz in at every fill up. I don't drive much now during all the look downs. ( 2 ) suv with small V-6 engines. I get about 2 months now between fillip. I drive one , park the other the swap when either needs a fill up. I get those 32oz squeeze bottles, every now and then when they are on sale BOGO 1/2 off. I'v got a 5 oz bottle I've had for over 10 years to add the Lucas to the fuel filler. I also add 2 oz of Sta-Bil 360 Protection during the winter...
Recommended dosage is 2-3 ounces of Fuel Treatment per 10 gallons of fuel.
My 2004 kawasaki zx10 was losing major power at high rpms. I thought the fuel pump was going. Before replacing and expensive part or cleaning it I tried lucas because my grandfather said it was good stuff. My bike wouldn't go faster than 127 because of this fuel issue and was making loud popping sounds from the exhaust from running lean. I had a custom power commander tune bmc air filter and two Bros slip on exhaust. This bike came with over 180bhp from the factory and would hit 186mph. I added this and the first ride I got more power I flew up to the red line instead of gradually getting there. And now after about 5 treatments my bike has almost all its power back and I was almost topped her out but chickened out but she still had the power to keep going. I'm using this in my bike every fill up.
I have used their oil stabilizer and know from experience that it works fine. I have been using the fuel cleaner sold at Murphy Oil Company stations with gas purchases to clean my fuel injectors because I keep forgetting to put in the fuel cleaner since I am in the habit of not letting my fuel level get below one half tank.
I have a 2002 Hyundai Santa Fe with a V6 engine. I started using Lucas when it hit 100k after the manufacturer's warranty expired and haven't had any engine problem. My Santa Fe just hit 300k yesterday. This stuff really works.
On my trip to Alaska my 2001 Cumins 330 ISC diesel started to hickup, with a loss of power for a few seconds. Started using Lucas fuel additive and it stops the problem. If I don't put it in tank with fuel ups, the problem returns. Been using for 5 years now. This is on a 40 foot motor home with over 90 thousand miles and counting.
I just started using it on my 06 cvpi. I also added the Lucas synthetic oil at the same time. We will see how it goes.
I have used this stuff for years in Road Trucks and in my pickup truck and car it is great stuff.
Tim Wilkins My Pete was working fine.. but when I added this to my fuel I started getting a little more than usual White smoke.. Any ideas why?
The sulfur was removed because of the diesel after-treatment systems. The same is true of the newer engine oil for diesel and even European cars. I use the stuff to keep the injectors clean and lubed in my gas vehicles.
I have an 01 Dodge with the Cummins diesel in it with 250K miles on it. Every fill-up I put a bottle of Power service diesel Clean (40 gallon size) in it, a bottle of Marvelous Mystery Oil in it, and 8 oz of 2 cycle oil. My truck has a clean fuel filter even after 20,000 miles. My truck has had zero lift pump issues and runs smooth as silk. I have a stock fuel system and the only mods are a BHAF, Banks Hi-Ram intake, and a Mighty Max 55hp chip. It is my daily driver and I drive 60 miles a day round trip to work.
I have been using a product called Orion 5000-EL for six months and my mileage has increased 8-10%. I like the product so well that now I am a distributor of it.
Works very well on my 2007 Honda Accord. Obvious mileage improvement and smoother operation. Worth it.
The fuel savings doesn't really excite me one way or another, however, I use this product to hopefully extend injector life. I've already had to replace one injector on my V6 Ranger with 230K miles... hopefully I can delay another failure. I've noticed that the injectors on my Hyundai are quieter when I use it. I think Lucas makes decent products, I have been impressed with their auto trans additives.
Well, I have a Renault Clio 1.6 2009 (not seen in the USA). It has 96000 km (about 59600 miles). I started to put in Lucas Fuel Traetment at 92000 km. Surprise: now my car goes 53,70 km/ gl (33,37 miles/Gl). Normally this car brand and reference goes 46km/gl. This product is really amazing.
Yes on my truck, fill up after fill up my MPG got better and I've never had any problem using it so I use it in all my fuels for every vehicle I have (Truck, car, tractor) Also I use another product called sea foam. Ill try to make a video for you on that soon. Thanks for commenting!
My gas gauge wasn't working in my 2004 Buick Lesabre believe float? Was stuck, after using Lucas my gauge started to work.
This is a very good product. Vehicles that are mostly driven in town have increase power. All so run quieter .
I noticed my high mileage mustang V8 is running much smoother with this stuff. (you can get it for $21.97 at summitracing but the shipping is 6 bucks for me. It makes sense to add it when you're ordering other stuff so you get free shipping.)
basically, any fuel injector cleaner like this can work nicely no matter what they are because element inside of treatment is almost the same. so if you use any product, you can improve mileage. even changing transmission oil gives you 2-3 mile per gallon.
One of the things about diesel fuel is that organic compounds can grow in the tank. This is supposed to line the tank and "clean" these compounds through-out.
I tried it and it didn't taste too good. I got sick afterwards and was throwing up feeling like everything was spinning around my head and nauseous. Do I want to try this again...absolutely not. Am I joking...absolutely yes.
Maybe you shouldn't be driving a car.
Maybe you should do whatever you feel like.
💩
That's what she said ...
Lol
Another thing you can do is when you add the Lucas Oil add 1 oz of pure acetone for every 4-5 gallons of fuel. This will help your avg mpg alot.
Good Day! I hope you're enjoying a pleasant one. Regarding the small bottles of Lucas, what's the Minimum amount of gas should you have in your tank before using it.? For Example, would you want to, or would it be OK to mix a Small bottle of Lucas with a gallon of Gas? ...or would that be too potent a mix and gum up something... if that's the case, what would be the Minimum Lucas before it might cause an issue? I believe the Max is 25 Gallons(?). Thanks for your time, and the Video.
We have a 2010 Dodge Grand Caravan, 6Cyl/Automatic. Owned it 11 months. There was a whining noise coming from the Tranny when cold. We put 2-3 ounces of the Power Train stuff in there. No More Whine, after only a day. Lil' dab'll doya!
This product didn't save any fuel in my semi truck(diesel), but did save more than 2 mpg on my gasoline car.
I've been using this cleaner and it really worked on my Jetta 2.0 2012, it gives more millage and a little boost on power, i use it every 3 full tanks
I used the fuel cleaner. My outboard is a 4 stroke, but it should work well on your 2 stroke. I used it in a string trimmer which is 2 stroke and it ran really good after I used the lucas. I mixed it with.the gas
Since ethanol additives make the fuel inherently unstable while a machine is stored, I decided to try using this stuff as a fuel stabilizer in my lawn mower. I didn't want to drain the fuel system and risk hardening seals and diaphragms. I left it on 1/4 tank and then used like 5 parts fuel to 1 part fuel treatment (a lot more than recommended). The thing smoked and coughed the next Spring but it worked. Next time I'll try using less and see if it still works. I buy this stuff by the gallon and use it in everything I own. Its very cost effective when you buy it by the gallon.
Why would you get ethanol additives lol. Just get fuel stabilizer
It works for me.
Thanks! Just got some and looking forward to results.
If I did not use it, I would not believe it! It does work.
Keep your fuel filter in good shape. People add these products like Lucas which is a great product but neglect there fuel filter. Cheap money and easy to do.
Not easy for all vehicles. Some Hondas have the filter built into the fuel pump which is in the gas tank.
Premium gas has a better octane rating that regular. What your octane rating is and what acetone does are two different things. A gas with a higher octane rating means it can be compressed more on the motor's compression stroke without igniting. The acetone mixes with the gas increasing the surface tension of the solution, this helps it create more vapors, making a more efficient burn with better pressure on the motor's power stroke. =) Hope that helps
I use the Lucas treatment in my 2010 Cadillac DTS.(55K Miles) I'm averaging 27+mpg @ 70mph in a car EPA rated @ 25 Mpg. I think that it is the clean injectors doing the job right.
I use this in all my *small engine* equipment- _Lucas UCL_ is a *must* for your *air cooled* motor.
Good stuff and results will vary from vehicle to vehicle!
You can get the small bottle at Walmart for $3.99. It does what it says it does. Have it in my 01 Blazer. More power and better gas mileage. Next oil change I'll add Lucas Oil Stabilizer.
I still use it in my gasser. I do notice a difference when I dont use it in the gasoline (less MPG) but I dont use it for the diesel any more. Now I have Diesel Kleen (dont need anything else)
No I have not tried it but scene you have mentioned it, I have thought about giving it a try. So far the only fuel additives I've used have been Lucas oil fuel treatment and sea foam, but I think I will now have to try it. lol If I see any difference after use I will make a video and post my results. Kudos for the info!
I have been using this stuff for 6 months. I have got to say I am not seeing any mileage improvement in any of my three vehicles. I notice I have more snap and a more responsive throttle along with the motors running smoother. I also like the fact that I believe it lube's my fuel pump. But increased mileage I would say no. I will rebuy only because I think it helps the engine run better. But the gas mileage statement are not proven to me at all.
I do think it helps improve the shit gas with ethanol but not better mileage. My engine does seem smoother and a tad peppier. Also lubes valves and fuel pump so worth it I think. But buy the gallon jug saves a lot of money.
I don't know what happened, after I have been putting a lot lot lots of that lucas lubricant it feels like the car go smoothly or faster. 50 miles feels like 55 and 55 feels like 60. the feeling tho.
Just bought enough for 100 gal. today. Hope to see progress with my 6.2L.
Yes using it every fill will help, also I would use sea foam on the last tank before oil change =)
Does this replace sea foam or different in general? Can you use both or no need? I’ve always used sea foam in my gas for mowers etc, but now I have a few diesels 6.0, DT466, and a mini excavator. I’m using this now in my external tank and the 6.0 tank but I’m curious as to the difference compared to sea foam? Any advice would be appreciated. Mahalo from the 808🤙🏼🤙🏼
You can purchase gallon of Lucas from Summitracing for $21.95 that's 128oz
The 5oz bottle at the auto store sells for $5-$6
Great product
Have you tried Xtreme Fuel Treatment from a company called syntek global? I tried their fuel additive in my 06 honda accord v6 and it works very good. It increases my car 4 mpg. Only 2 teaspoons treats 20 gallons of gas. I like how it works
Yea some place do provide better fuel than other and some will advertise that. But for where I live there isn't much of a choice when buying diesel. The only real difference between fuel stations around here is how much water is in your fuel lol. I hate saying that but its true. But there is alot of choices here for gas ranging from 87-110 octane and a few places sell what they call turbo blue fuel for race cars and tuners.
I swear by this stuff. I have been putting it in my truck since day one. Definitely gave it some more pep by cleaning it up and did about 1 mpg increase. Of course now the gas is getting worse so my mileage is back down. I also run it in my old gas tractors just to give the gas some extra lube since they don't put lead in it like the engines were designed to run on.
WOW less? Ive never had that happen to me. What car? I started getting an increase in MPG around my 2nd tank of fuel with this additive.
I had great luck with mystery oil am give this a try thanks
Eric Castillo check out using Marine outboard TCW3 rated oil in your gas tank at 1oz of oil to 5 gallons of gas. Google Sarge LS1 using Marine oil in cars/trucks. Many people do this with great results. Much cheaper than Lucas. I use Pennzoil Marine outboard TCW3 oil in my JeepGC and my Volvo XC90 Marine oil is half the price of Lucas and you use less. TCW3 that's Two Cycle.Watercooled series3 oil. burns ashless no worry to harm sensors or cats.
definitely u should use it in you car. I Have been using lucas oil products for over 5 years. In my 97 tacoma 2.4 it stopped rough idling and ran smooth as hell after I started treating everytime I filled up. It also increased my gas mileage from 23 mpg to 27 mpg. In my 01 Mustang 3.8 I was getting about 24 without lucas and 27 with it. If its running real rough. run some seafoam through one tank and start running lucas through it after that on every fill up. be sure to check your sparkplugs.
how often do you add it to your tank? 2 or 3 months? Or monthly
this is what i use to used, now im using John Deere fuel solution and im pretty sure my 5.9 works even better now
It lubricates your rings & valve guides...reducing friction theres the reason i use it each fillup.
Worked on my truck I went from 5.9 to 7.1 2001 freightliner and you can get the gallon jug from freightliner parts store for 20 bucks
Been using Marvel Mystery Oil in my fuel and noticed the engine running a bit smoother...heard good things about this so I figured I'd give it a shot so let's see what we can see...
This stuff is ace one of the best thing I have ever bought
I no longer use this in my diesel but still use in my Beretta
I'm pondering if I should use the LucasOil Fuel System Treatment in my 2009 Lincoln MKS(47,000 miles) or some other brand. Rough idle, runs a bit sluggish... Figured I'd try an additive before getting the fuel system flushed by a mechanic.
have you tried diesel kleen + cetane boost ? i tried it in my truck and wow man did it make some big changes on my end. if you look at any of my videos you can see my truck has not had a good life up till now. lol and i put some of the diesel kleen in and i got a big boost of power from it. the truck ran much better iv used it off and on now you dont feel the boost as much but with out it you can tell the truck run harder then with it. i also found if you can find good diesel that help alot
I had a converter going bad and I put this in and it turned the check engine light off. After a fill up and not putting it in the light would come on and then I put the recommended amount in and the light went off. After a month the cat started to plug and I had it changed for 521.00 and the shop said the honeycomb inside had broken. I don't know if it worked or not but my wifes car of the same type is showing the code for a bad converter and after putting Lucas in the check engine light went off. I'm not going to mess with this one I ordered a Walker direct fit for 207.00 and should have it in two days
I was not a believer. I put a bottle in my 2016 Camry and took a 125 mile trip. I got 36 MPG. No real difference. On the return trip, I got 39 MPG. All highway, no traffic either way. To be fair, I was one passenger less and 3 plus gallons of fuel lighter on the return. About 200 pounds difference. Still, this is the best MPG I've ever gotten. I won't use it every fillup though. Maybe I'll throw in a bottle every 3rd fill-up going forward. I see no need to use it every tankfull.
I use it - not sure if it does a lot or not, but my car runs better with it and it does help a small amount with mileage - one thing that I discovered just over a year ago - NGK Iridium spark plugs - that is really what has pumped up my MPG on my Hundai - I cannot even tell you - and the POWER of the car is way way better - they give a stronger spark, burning more gas in the chamber and giving you more bang for your buck, definitely worth it, big time. I just picked up some at the auto parts store and had my mechanic put them in. I have a couple of guys I know who drive trucks and put them in on my recommendation - they were quite happy with them, too. I seriously spend considerably less on gas with these.
I learned about these when I was getting parts at the local auto parts store to do my 60,000 mile services - I wanted to do the plugs, too. I asked the guy behind the counter if there were any really good spark plugs (I was on a roll with the split fire plugs back in the day with my Nova, too). He told me the NGK Iridiums were used by pretty much everyone who works there - so I figured maybe they were onto something. They were only like $1.50 more apiece over the regular crummy plugs. Just be cautious that they are fragile, and gapping them is different than with normal plugs - most of the time you don't need to do so at all.
Iridium and platinum overheat more easily than copper and are not as conductive. If anything, they deliver worse performance but last longer. As for the debate over multi-ground electrodes, there's not much evidence in their favor.
There's a lot of voodoo and snake oil out there regarding spark plugs. A different spark plug doesn't generate more power than before. If a certain spark plug electrode configuration reduces misfiring by lowering the voltage necessary to generate the spark, then your motor will run better, But provided you're already getting consistent spark, it's a myth that somehow "bigger spark = more power." The mixture only needs enough spark to ignite it. If it's already doing that, then a fancier plug won't make it better.
If you're really trying to change the ignition system, such as when you're compensating for the (desired) effects of engine modding (e.g. an increase in compression ratio), you would probably want to install one of the myriad performance ignition systems that operate at higher voltages, multi-spark--whatever whatever.
Then again, I drive a '70 GMC pickup with a stock 350. It does have HEI though, and I have no problems with copper plugs.
Thank you,will be trying this in my F150.
I agree Diesel Kleen is where its at.
I usually pour half a bottle in a full tank in my little Toyota. It smells like diesel and detergent (napalm?) Works well with shitty ethanol laced fuel or sub-normal fuel. Does seem to help some. I added a full bottle (1 quart) to a full tank of gas and got 47 mpg on all highway driving in a 2000 Toyota Echo with 160,000 miles. I also use it as it's cleaning action is not caustic like the paint thinner types. However I WON'T use their oil additive. For me it's Mobil 1 only!
If you had never read about ethanol in the gas, you would not notice anything wrong with the fuel you buy.
***** wrong! Mpg are consistently better running non-ethanol gas. My car is a 2000 model and was not designed for ethanol laced gas. I've owned this car for 12 yrs and I know it very well. Tell me have you ever gotten 47 mpg from your vehicle at 160,000 miles?. 3-4mpg better with straight gas with no ethanol
Mark Langston
Yes you are 100% correct, ethanol fuels up to 15% suck out around 5-6 mpg regardless if the vehicle is designed or better yet tolerate ethanol fuel. Pure gas runs better and more efficient. I just drove an 2011 Cadillac 3.0 V6 SRX from Ohio to CA, pure gas 26.4 mpg, ethanol gas 19.2 mpg. The cost offset for pure gas to ethanol mixed was up to .50 cents a gallon, but pure gas ran better, more power and smoother. Ethanol gas is a money wasting joke.
Mark Langston My 96 Tahoe with 290,000 + miles was getting 12mpg down from 15. I thought my engine was old and some fool said it was the ethanol. After changing timing chain, I'm back up to 15mpg.
One more thing, if your car calls for premium only, never put regular in the tank. This will cause premature detonation in the compression. (thats what i was taking about earlier with octane ratings on fuels) This will cause damage to your piston heads as well as valves and if used during high engine load or racing type scenarios it could also blow your head gasket. =( So if you motor needs premium use it, never go cheap on your engine =)
I like the Lucas oil in my gas car. I use it on every fill up =) Its not that expensive, so Id say its worth a try. Also consider Sea foam if you dont like the Lucas oil fuel treatment =)
this stuff is amazing I use it in my high compression motorcycle race engines and it's amazing it's virtually stops all wear at TDC on cylinder wall and my race engine holds Max compression between rebuilds it's lubricate the valves as well between this and the Amsoil everything really remains in spec. I just purchased a Kawasaki H2 and it will be getting the same treatment Amsoil and the Lucas Fule Treatment for the valves & combustion chamber.. I'm glad somebody made of lubricant to put in the fuel for these types of engines
I HAD A 1983 DATSUN 200 SX 70.000 MILES, ALWAYS WENT 300 MILES ON A FULL TANK FOR YEARS, PUT THIS IN AND WENT 280 MILES, SO I WENT THE LONG WAY HOME, AS I WAS PULLING INTO DRIVE WAY AT 300 MILES, I RAN OUT OF FUEL FOR THE FIRST TIME? I THINK IT MAKES THE FUEL HARDER TO BURN? SO I USED MORE, THE NEXT FEW TANKS I GOT GAS AT 250 MILES, AND SAW A DROP IN FUEL MILEAGE? WHEN IT WAS GONE I SWITCHED TO MARVEL MYSTERY OIL,AND DURA LUBE,I THINK THE DURA LUBE DID THE BEST, AS I HAD TO LOWER THE IDLE,TWICE, BUT THEN USED SOME OIL? BUT GOT MY FUEL MILEAGE BACK? I MAKE A QUART OF DURA LUBE LAST A YEAR, ABOUT A CAP FULL PER OIL CHANGE, IN THE OIL ,AND A TOUCH OF MARVEL MYSTERY OIL IN THE FUEL? SEEMS TO WORK FOR ME..
Jon Telliard it most likely cleaned out the carbon that kept your compression so it got shittyer afterward a can of engine restore should put u back where u need to be
Do you put it in the gas tank after fuel up?
the first two time I used it in a newish 1.6 Hyundai, my gas mileage jumped way up. 40.1 in stop and go traffic, just put some more in today and no gas mileage improvement...have seen other posts with the same "return to normal" problem
Lucas is the best for my car it works
using it on my 95 civic ex140.000 miles on it before i was geting about 27 mpg in city,now with lucas about 32mpg in the city,37 on freeway,it does its job
Yes, use "Diesel Kleen" For diesels
i guess i need to try! seeing how much truck is new and only have 1200 miles on it probbly wont be that dirty on the inside but if it boost Mpg it worth a try..
I have a 6.0l Ford how much should I use per full tank?
Ok guys, Lucas, may help out your pickup truck diesel engine fuel mileage a bit, But you are not pulling heavy loads with them either. I have big rig, with a 600 hp Detroit engine. I pull a low pro stepdeck trailer, and I do a lot of heavy oversize loads..
I have used Lucas in the past, I never saw any improvements on my fuel mileage at all.. There was no improvements on the pulling Hp / Torque ratio's at all..
I have found that when I do my oil and filter changes, I take the old fuel filters off, drai them, then add a half quart of dextron transmission fluid in each filter ( 2 ) then fill the rest with fuel, fire the engine and run that thru the injectors and it does a better job of cleaning the fuel system, ( Injectors ) because of the cleaning agents that the transmission fluid has, and Its a heck of a lot cheaper than Lucas..
Thanks for the info. I am going to try it in my tank!
good diesel help alot i dont know it wear you are it is like it is in nh but iv found there is a big difference in the diesel you can get at gas stations around here like Irving sell junk and if you look at it color is green i fund it make your truck work harder and your temp run hotter but iv found that Sunoco has really good and its blue in color truck runs smooth and cooler
using Lucas for years including the oil stabilizer.

Hoping i dont need a new CAT.
Any ideas?
Great video with helpful information. Just found your channel and I'm sub'n. Thank you
do you add this every fill up, and if so how much?
The bottle has instructions on the side. The 32 oz., which I buy, has a level showing how much you use, kinda like on an oil jug.
