For neglacted systems it says 3 oz. per full tank, not 5 gallons.

Hey Gearbox, I'm getting this random CEL on and off latley and it seem it's when ever theres FP60 in the tank. Every once in a while I run like $5 of gas without it just so I don't make the mix too strong. What do you think? Last time I checked the light it was for o2 sensor, but like I said it's on and off, do they store and come on every so often?

I usually make sure there is excess fp60 in my gas. Doesn't hurt. If its the 02 sensor, it may be triggering a cel depending on the temp. I would still get it replaced. But yea the cel doesn't always stay on for that.

I'm gonna be making a trip to chicago and back tomorrow so we'll see if I can beat the last record of 42 mpg all highway.

Does anyone know whether LC20 will provide any benefit over synthetic oil?

gearbox · 10-05-2005

it dissolves carbon, I don't think synthetic has that ability. It seems like the lc20 gives regular oil alot of synthetic properties like 10k changes, better lubrication, etc in addition to cleaning the engine. Using lc20 and fp60, my city mpg went from 20 to 26 after a month./

A good synthetic oil will break carbon up too.

The big difference is that you add the LC20 every 1000 miles. This allows the addative that normally break up in synthetic oils to be replaced, so you can go alot longer than normal because the addative are always present.

Works great with MaxLife oil, I reccomended that oil to everyone.

what about that oil in the commercial that says it adds hp?

DaddyFatSacks · 10-06-2005

I will say that since using FP60 my milage has increased to around 32 mpg. That some high way, some city and some redlinging 3 gears in a row. Ha ha.

I don't think I directly answer your question, yes it does have benifts over any oil in that the addatives are being put in every 1000 miles, where as most other addative burn out between 3k-5k miles.

The only real advantage to synthetic oil is the extended drain interval, and if you combine a full synthetic with LC20, you should easily go 10,000 miles per oil change. Your oil filter is a different story, you may want to replace that after 5,000 miles.
