Correction - its the Liqui Moly Mos2, 300 ml [2009] oil additive I add. I'll add Techron [since I rarely buy Chevron gas....] concentrate to the fuel every few months, too.

River Dave's Place - Lucas Upper Cylinder Lube - It's not about the MPG

I found the little bottles on sale and bought a couple to try. On that tank of gas, without changing my driving style at all, I got a 1.5mpg increase. I'm a believer now...

I've always been a Techron guy and added that before every oil change. I still plan to do that but I think there's something to using the Lucas regularly too.
