It seemed to only raise mileage from 17 MPG to 17.7 (or 17.75?) MPG in my 2005 Explorer, and that's comparing my ScanGauge II Computer to my On-Board Computer. The ScanGauge read 17, and it was calibrated properly. The on-board computer read 17.7, but it doesn't go to a finer decimal point, so what it was after that is anyone's guess. Going from 17 to 17.7 MPG is adding about 15 more miles to the tank, assuming I fill the tank up late, and add 20 gallons out of 22.5. That's not really paying for itself by fuel efficiency benefits in this concentration, it only saves just under 1 gallon for me. I do not use it for the Explorer, but I do use it for other applications. Then again, in my 2005 Explorer, that's a concentration of 6 Oz of Amsoil UCL in 22.5 gallons of gasoline. My concentration of additive is probably not as high as yours.
@@thinkforyourself5672 As it turns out, I'd have to use just under 10.5 ounces for 22.5 gallons to get the same concentration. Eh, I'll keep putting it in Mom's Car, at least; its 17 gallon tank allows for a higher concentration, and I fill that car around the 13 - 14 gallon mark (the "low fuel" light pops up when around 13.5 gallons have been used.) Amsoil UCL does quiet the engine pretty well when it's in a high enough concentration. I also mean to use it in my 1990 Grand Marquis, along with using 100% Gas in it - it's more costly, but I'd like more power out of the old underpowered car on the rare day that I drive it.
I've used the Amsoil upper cylinder lube, Motorkote, Lucas, Primrose, Marvel, and Hot Shot's. They all work well. The best running one was the Primrose and Hot Shot's in a Ford V6. In a BMW 4 cylinder, the Amsoil and Motorkote seemed to run the best. I'm impressed with the video showing an injector flowing better.
Well i wouldn't have believed it if i hadn't seen it. Thought Lucas was top of the line but i also knows that Amsoil makes good products also. Keep up the good work.
To be 100% honest this product is one of the only ones that I ever noticed more power . It's only about 5 bucks for a bottle and everyone should try it
Do you know that the seat length is 150 -250 microns long and is concave about 2.5 microns for dampening?? No chance of any film build up. 3rd generation mechanic and engine builder. If you don't believe it disassemble and measure with a perthometer!!
Upper cylinder lube is not a injector cleaner it's to lube the system while being stored to help from rust and stuff while in storage. to unclog fuel injectors you should use fuel injector cleaner not upper cylinder lube
Technically after using the additive you should run on normal petrol to burn off any additive in the cylinder, any lubricant based product will have an impact on the compression at the point of use
This is why I like to alternate with different products. I use the lubricants most of the time, then a cleaner type once in a while (usually every 4 to 5K miles for the cleaner).
Have tried this product. First, every other fill up. Then (1year later) every 5th fill up. It’s actually pretty impressive. Immediately noticed the extra slight kick the engine had. Fuel economy improvement is negligible, but it may be because things were cleared, then maintained. Didn’t actually track fuel economy before using this product. Car is Toyota Corolla, 1.8 L 2ZRFE. Naturally aspirated, port injection. An engine with GDI or turbo may benefit even more. I’ll likely continue using this product as a form of preventative maintenance (like every 5th fill up or so).
I know upper cylinder lube is controversial, and let’s clear it up that I’m no scientist but I’ve owned plenty of cars and trucks gas and diesel, older diesel fuel contained paraffin which was lubricant for dirty Diesel engines but also kept them running forever. That said, it stands to reason more lubrication can’t be all bad, there maybe a tipping point where there is too much or a trade off that some deposits will be left in the system, but gas is dry and I’ve used plenty of it to clean parts fuel pumps, lines, injectors all should benefit from lubrication even if it’s slight or periodic. I feel the rpm’s come smoother with lubricant. Just my thought. Not science.
Did you run the mower and test compression before the additive was added ? How long after you ran the additive in the fuel did it take for you to do a compression test ?
Are you doing more GDI Intake cleaner video? If so I want to see comparison between regular seafoam spray and seafoam deep creep against intake valves deposits.
I love Amsoil products, but these extra fuel additives make me nervous. They might work, particularly with increasing compression in a worn engine, but I think so would a few Oz of regular motor oil added to the fuel. I'm especially worried with someone actually using this as directed and adding every fill-up. My concern would be long term carbon deposit build up in cylinders, pistons, fuel injectors, and spark plugs.
I don't like to say because I don't want people to think im trying to promote the brand. Amsoil, Mobil1, Valvoline, castrol, Liqui moly just to name s few quality brands.
@@dannyzamudio1252 my master mechanic bother in law says Valvoline, so I use it .but other mechanics will use other oils. But hey since my bro in law uses it and says to use it and it[s in Nate's rotation, let's put two and two together. ;-) ps...scotty kilmer would say it almost doesn't matter the oil or filter just change them frequently because "oil is cheap but engines and repairs are expensive".
Motorkote is 27% chlorine. It turns to hydrochloric acid when exposed to heat and moisture in a running engine. Just stick with the Amsoil oil by itself.
I had a dealership do a fuel injector cleaning on my nissan pickup. It caused my injectors to stay open longer than they should and contaminated my oil with gasoline. I ended up having to get another engine. When I checked the oil you could smell the gasoline. When I drained the oil it looked watered down and smelled like straight gasoline. Almost like how dead gas smells. Just be careful doing these on older vehicles. When my oil light came on it was to late the damage was already done.
@@zoe7657 As good as Amsoil is.....this begs the question...why not use Redline SL-1 ...as it is a PEA cleaner (arguably even more potent than Amsoil PI) as well as a rust inhibitor and upper cylinder lube. Its like combining PI and UCL into one....and you continually "clean and lubricate".

Did you ever do a video on the lubrisity of amsoil upper cylinder lubricant?
Upper cylinder lube is not a injector cleaner it's to lube the system while being stored to help from rust and stuff while in storage. to unclog fuel injectors you should use fuel injector cleaner not upper cylinder lube
With my piston slapping Civic the compression is also 10PSI more when measured hot
If he stuck with his word, at the beginning of the video he said he was going to run both tests at the same temp.
Technically after using the additive you should run on normal petrol to burn off any additive in the cylinder, any lubricant based product will have an impact on the compression at the point of use
Pretty sure the claim was the "product" increased compression when used. If not used no compression increase..
This is why I like to alternate with different products. I use the lubricants most of the time, then a cleaner type once in a while (usually every 4 to 5K miles for the cleaner).
I think the directions on the bottle say to use with every fill up.
If anything it improves the compression, it leaves a film on the valve seat and creates a better seal
Yes I would like to see it on the lubrisity machine vs Lucas upper cylinder lubricant

Amsoil for oil and additives
Evans for coolant
These are the best you can get in the market.
The injector still isn't fixed. They are supposed to produce a mist not a stream...
With proper pressure and pulse, yes. He probably wasn’t pushing 60-90psi through the line.
I think he may be just using gravity feed pressure.
His brain could use a bottle of injector cleaner. Come on man.
At higher pressures yes, low gravity pressure no.
It should spray a cone shape.......
That’s what I thought too
@@kenhogan1 It's should spray a cone shape atomized mist as he knows. He's just impressed it spraying at all
At higher pressures it should atomize into a cone. He used low pressures.
Amsoil makes the best lubricants in the world....no contest
I was watching movie, after this product I came to bed. Awesome product.
The compression test on the lawn mower, did you do both tests when mower was cold or both hot or one hot one cold?
They were both at the same temp. It was mentioned in the video.
Yea if you can find the Amsoil products they work very well. Nothing of thiers is very cheap though!!!
You can find a local dealer and ask him to keep some inventory for you or you can order direct.
Question where can I find this? Search Amazon, Auto parts online and their website.
Amsoil website
You would have to check on their website
Directly from Amsoil website or directly from their distribution center. There’s one in Las Vegas
