Herokight Posted April 9, 2014 Report Share Posted April 9, 2014 I'm considering giving some Lucas products a shot, mainly their fuel system cleaner and oil stabilizer. Who here has any experience with them? What kind of benefits have you seen? I'm looking mainly for a bit more gas mileage. I've talked to quite a few people with a Jeep exactly like mine (4.0L I6, 4x4) that are getting much better gas mileage than me. I'm sitting around 11.5mpg, and it's killing me...

You hear that????That's a category 5 shit storm coming n8: hey you doing today. What's it like being a bitch? you can pm me if you'd like to explain why you arent one. Just like you did for your vs threads. ^^^Rules. Follow them.^^^ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Amart88 Posted April 9, 2014 Report Share Posted April 9, 2014 Lucas has some top notch products. The fuel system cleaner is pretty good from what i have heard. I never tried the oil one. My 2005 s10 blazer build. 4 zcon 18's walled. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thefourth Posted April 9, 2014 Report Share Posted April 9, 2014 Oil stabilizer works wonders. Really thick gooey stuff. Use a little bit every time I change my oil. Thanks alaskanzx5 I might just do thatI can recone a sub myself. About a year ago I took 2 12" power acoustic mofos and made one sub. I took the magnet and the motor off of one and j b welded it to the other motor and magnet. I had to wind my own voice coil so it would work. After I was done hooked up to 2 boss 5000w amps. And shattered my back and all my side windows came to this thread to recommend soundqubed and ct sounds. OP goes with soundstream. oh lawd.

bcpballer64 Posted April 9, 2014 Report Share Posted April 9, 2014 One alternative to fuel system cleaner is to run a tank of premium once a month or so usually has the same effects. Plus on an average 20 gallon tank and premium is usually 20 cents more that is only an extra 4 bucks per tank. Which is cheaper than fuel system cleaner anyway "The strongest reason for people to retain the right to keep and bear arms is, as a last resort, to protect themselves against tyranny in government." -- (Thomas Jefferson) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ROLEXrifleman Posted April 9, 2014 Report Share Posted April 9, 2014 for the most part in the gas tank it's snake oil. With that being said I even use a can of sea foam now and then in the tank. Also in the oil and top end. The true way to increase gas mileage is to have a good running car which means new plugs, wires etc and properly inflated tires If it doenst hurt why not, just don't expect 20% gains or anything.

ParDeus Posted April 10, 2014 Report Share Posted April 10, 2014 Lucas sponsored the Top Fuel dragster I wrenched on halfway through the season, and gave us all the free oil additive you can imagine. We usually ran 12qts of 70w then 3qts of 140w gear lube. Even on a good run, the bearings were shredded to oblivion. When we started adding their Synthetic oil additive in place of the gear lube, the bearing looked AMAZING after a good pass. (amazing for a top fueler anyways, lol) With that said... You don't have a 10,000hp engine. Additives are not necessary at all, and usually do more damage than good. If there was some awesome jungle juice that helped, bet your ass to an antelope that it'd be formulated in your oil already. Bottom line-Use good oil, maybe a tad thinner than you have now. Fuel additives-They work, and do amazing things. Unfortunately, all the good ones will kill you and thus are not on the shelves. Just run some moistire removal shit once in a while. Also, running 93 if your car calls for 87 is worse on your engine, and hurts mileage. Trust me on this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Herokight Posted April 10, 2014 Author Report Share Posted April 10, 2014 Thanks guys. I have a long trip coming up this weekend (400 miles round trip) so that's why I was thinking of trying it. I'm gonna check my plugs tomorrow and get my tires rotated and balanced as well as an oil change very soon. I just got the car three weeks ago, so I'm trying to get around to all the maintenance stuff just so that I know it's been done and have a regular schedule going. I thought it'd be worth a shot to try something for my fuel system, mainly. I used Gum Out in my Malibu and it made a pretty noticeable difference, but I've been curious about Lucas products for a while. Lane AKA HeroKight '96 Jeep Cherokee Classic 4x4 R.I.P.
