yes, very good. and as Gearbox has found out, it (lc20) works wonders in the tranny too.

lubecontrol.com also anyone that wants the coupon codes for ordering 1 gallon of fp60 or lc20 just pm me your email addy. i still have 1/2 gallon of each and ive been using almost a year now. 1 gallon of fp60 is good for around 128 gas treatments. the lc20 for the oil will prolly last longer since you only add a few ounce at first and 1 oz every 1k miles.

Re: lc20 oil treatment review

i just wanted to report that after using these products for two years, lc20 every 1k miles in oil and fp60 every gas fillup, there have been zero mechanical problems and i can say with confidence that my highway miles per gallon is a solid 42! that is 4mpg above the epa sticker which rates it at 38mpg under ideal conditions, and higher than some friends of mine who have hybrid civics. also my car is a daily driver, with an average of 12,000 miles put on each year. my car is running smooth as ever with no hesitation or rough idle. it runs like i drove it off the dealer lot. i just received my shipment of fp PLUS which i cant wait to start using soon.

Re: lc20 oil treatment review

still using lc20 for over THREE years, fp60 for two years, and fp-plus the third year. no problems at all. cars runs better than new, it looks like a new engine under the valve cover. still getting great gas mileage and power (for a civic). i change oil once every 6 months with valvoline maxlife oil and K&N filter. will continue to use these products as long as i own the car.

Re: lc20 oil treatment review

Color me curious. I think I will get a quart of the LC so I can change my oil at 3K again instead of 2K from the turbo. I'm not willing to futz with the fuel at all given the delicate nature of tuning F/I'd car that was never designed to get air crammed into it's cylinders.

Re: lc20 oil treatment review

Hey all, I took the cue from gearbox also. I ordered lc20/fp60 a couple of months ago. I've been using it regularly, adding 1oz:1gallon of lc20 @ every oil change (3k mls+/-) and every 1000 until another oil change and fp60 every now and then also and I do see a difference in pickup in my civic, much perkier than before. The idle is definitely smoother than before. But I just want to say thanks to Gearbox for sharing with all of us. I may sound weird saying this but...eh it smells good too. I mean i'm not huffin' it of course but just when your pouring it, it has like a fruity sweet smell,...yay. I'm gonna throw in my two cents too and say, hey it's worth it to go order some, you won't get the same result with any other type of additive.

I do have a question though. how often do you guys use the FP60. I know with other fuel additives that if you add too much it's bad for the engine, corrodes seals and all that. There must be some kind of limit on how much you can use the fp60, or am I wrong it's safe to use at every fill up? I actually have kinda slacked off on mine for fear of doing some kind of damage, but I could just be paranoid.

Oh lord! May this thread never perish.

Re: lc20 oil treatment review

the fp does affect the octane so most likely will require a turbo retune. the oil stuff should work great. gallon is also much cheaper if you want.

i added fp60 every time i filled the tank for two years. ive been running the fp-plus upgrade formula for another year and thats what im using now. 3 yrs total, almost every fillup (unless i forget). nothing will happen. you can evean add extra it will not harm the car.
