lc20 oil treatment review

I haven't been this impressed since I started using fp60. So far I used lc20 in my oil for the last month of the previous oil change. I plan on getting a change soon and adding more lc20 for around 6 mos/7k miles. Well in only a month, the results are amazing. Throttle response from a stop is greatly improved, and even in hot weather the car picks up well (for an auto). Second, the engine is REALLY quiet even with my intake at cruising speeds. I was on the freeway at 65 and could not hear anything. Also very smooth sounding during acceleration, better than when I first bought the car. Now the most impressive part was when I started cruising at 65, then pressed the gas a little in gear. It felt like the car wanted to keep going faster and faster and actually got to 85 fairly quickly and still wanted more. Also at 85 the engine was quiet. Feels kinda cool, not even like a civic anymore cause before it used to struggle and I had to give much more gas. Overall LCD does it again. I will be buying more lc20 when the small one runs out and I already have 1.5 gallons fp60. Will be using for as long as I have the car. Very very impressed.

Well I think after hearing you rave on about this stuff, once I get some money I will definetly buy some of the FP60 and LC20. I have tried alot of other stuff from walmart, autozone, etc... and nothing really yeilds any results. It is about time I start finding something to clean out the deposits I have collected over the years.

He like Red Line fuel cleaner too (at least if I remember correctly)

I think I'll probably use it in the '06, becuase after I get my fiance another car in 4-5 years, the '06 becomes mine, so it needs to last a while.

I see at as there are two breakins, an intial and a long term. The intial is done with in the first few miles, this is where the ring landings and all that get broke in. Then there is a long term break in where the rest of the compents get broke in, IMO this finishs around 15k or so.

it says not to use it for first 1k though. I personally wouldn't use it for at least 20k. Newer engines don't fully break in until that time. Better safe than sorry. But I'm sure you know more than I do...

okay saw your edit

no. and it looks like their dosages changed. I think it should be

lc20 first time use: 2oz per quart
fp60 2oz per 5 gallons

lc20 normal use: 1 oz per quart initial, then 1oz every 1k miles.
fp60 normal use: 1 oz per 5 gallons

I got my gallon on the 25 and it says 1 oz per 5 gallons like ya said gear....then it says for 'neglected' engines do a shock of 3 oz per 5 gallons...neglected hehe either means never used fp60 or the more probable answer those who have never had fuel system work...
