So... You are substituting a cleaner into the fuel, with the intent of CLEANING for a few tank-cycles. Maybe we should expect the mileage to decrease DURING the treatment because you are running a less-potent fuel. Once cleaned, what is your mileage for the month AFTER, when you are back to running untreated fuel? Now would be the time to compare mileage, I think, as neither product is a fuel supplement, they are cleaners. After the cleaning cycles, is either engine running more efficiently??
I'm totally convinced Lucas fuel additive is a great product. Here is my story: I have a 2004 Suburban 2500 LT, 8.1 L Vortec with 166K+ miles. Four or five years ago (at 100K+ miles) while driving down the hiway ~80 mph and going up a hill the engine would cut out. Engine light would come on and codes were: fuel cap not tight or mass air flow sensor needs cleaning and so on. My first thought was the fuel filter however it doesn't have one (at least outside of the fuel tank) or the injectors which I had never cleaned. I stopped in a town and bought some Lucas during a trip. Put in about 4X the recommended amount. And, have been using on it every fill-up since, at the recommended rate . I buy it by the gallon. The results have been great. No more cutting out. Also, before I started using the Lucas, when I first started the engine from a cold start you could hear the valves clicking/sticking. Not now. Now, it did take a quite awhile before the valves stopped sticking. But, I ran it a long ways before I began any additives/treatment. I don't think you should expect to put one treatment in and expect it to magically fix all your problems. It took a long time/fuel to deposit that carbon and you're expecting so little amount of treatment to clean it all up. I believe you need to run it on a regular basis. For a new auto, not as regular as an old auto that you are trying remove years of buildup. I've since talked to a lot of car guys that swear by it. That's why Lucas can afford to build football stadiums. By the way I don't have any experience with Sea Foam so I don't know if it's a good product or not. So, I'm sorry, I had to give your experiment a big thumbs down. However, I do appreciate you for trying. My very first boss told me one time, after i made a mistake and admitted to it, "that's alright, if you aren't making mistakes, you aren't doing anything". I worked my ass off for that guy.
I've noticed my 2008 Tundra has been sluggish lately so I used the Lucas product on my 2008 Tundra during a recent trip to Colorado from MN. Four straight tanks on the highway. I can definitely tell the difference in throttle responsiveness. With bigger tires, I know my MPG is going to be awful but that's not why I use Lucas.
Thanks. I like that you monitored the gas mileage. Which confirms that you are decreasing the volatility of gasoline when you consume oil. Or add oil based cleaners to the gasoline. Seafoam is 50% pale oil. But that pale oil is also likely why seafoam survives combustion long enough to clean the Piston tops. Low volatility. But what about things you can't see. Like the fuel injectors. Fuel pump components. Lucas may have the upper hand there because of it's additive PEA. And lastly does seafoam increase the likelihood of a P0420 cat code? Yup. Because of the pale oil. It also survives on the surface of the catalytic converter which is a bad thing.
I actually been using Seafoam for quite a while now. For me it works best at a higher concentrated adding, 2 full cans of product plus adding a can to the oil crankcase. It cleared my check engine light and allowed me to pass smog inspection on a 2009 Ford Fusion increasing mpg by 1.2.
To accurately measure Miles Per Gallon fuel up (top off) at the same station, same pump, same time of day. Reset your trip counter, drive around, and then top off again. Divide the miles you've driven by the gallons pumped. Do this a few times, and get the true average. Using the cars's computer is not ideal.
Yes, exactly. Different gas stations have a federal I hear and probably state REQUIRED REGULTIONS, but wouldn’t be surprised if one or some have variation in variables of ratio mixture of ingredients in conditions to the fuel. Plus, real scientific tests have the least variable differences to truly mark it as a reliable and valid test. Reliable in retesting constantly; validly with truly showing results of what is meant to be tested not different factors skewing results. That’s how I used to check my MPG generally, idk about same time doesn’t matter much as all in a gas stations is gathered from same huge gasoline line. Different gas stations do get different formula mixes tho. In my experience, after using couple Lucas Fuel Treatment noticed half or 1/3 way done usage of a gallon of the treatment in fill-ups. My engine was quieter and ran smoother with better gas mileage. Would say tho, idk if was gas from a certain gas station or heavy mix of gas and treatment or just by chance of old 130k mile engine, it would feel like a push it would have in running during a drive.
As many females, iam not trying to find out what’s happening underneath the hood or other places in my car, I just drive from point a to point b, get my oil changed done on time, that’s about it. When the engine light turned on, I called my brother and he specifically told me not to use Seafoam, cuz it didn’t work on his car I suppose …. Well, I was looking for ways to fix it and came across Cataclean, used it, a week later the light turned off by itself and I was happy for about 3 months. The engine light came back on, so gotta do it again, which I don’t mind, just wish it was more affordable, $25 a pop a bit overpriced. Great video Justin 🎉
I agree with your results. However, I still have two quarts of the Lucas left so might as well use it up. It does lubricate the fuel tank, fuel pump and fuel lines. At least that's some benefit.
So.. The truck has a larger fuel tank than the car.. Yet you used 14 oz of additives in both so you test is really invalid. Had you used the ratio recommendations your results may have been different.
I'm in New Hampshire and it snowed yesterday for the first time. We were in bad shape. People forget how to drive. I think it's the frequency not whether it's north or south. If it's snowing a lot in the South people would get used to it. Honestly I'm never going to get used to it. I'm getting out of here I'm sick of the cold and working on rusting cars
MPG reduced is that gunk was removed and clogged/contaminated other places such as catalytic converter and fuel filter. So, do not used them. Thanks for your experiment to confirm my judgement.
Whenever I use a fuel additive myself I always mix it with 91 for more a complete burn (kind of compensating for the diluted fuel) That’s not necessarily science that’s just me trying to overthink it haha. I’m curious if mixing fuel additives have a greater benefit using 91 over 87? Possibly compensate for the loss in fuel mileage? 🤔 just thinking out loud here.
Makes sense to lose fuel mileage. The fuel additive has real octane to burn so it would decrease mileage. it should be better after it is used and a fresh tank of gas is used without additives. So on a high mileage vehicle. I would use it for a couple of tanks to clean then not use for about 6 months. As far as the Catalytic converter. Would it clean it as well? Not sure about that. I agree with your video though. seems overall its just not worth it due to decrease in fuel economy.
Hey Justin, Were the outside temps pretty comparable from the beginning to end of the test? Any stretch of cold weather will definitely decrease your MPGs
The drop in MPG was disappointing. I'd like to see a more comprehensive testing. I used Seafom in my 94 Mitsubishi 3000GT VR4. The community swore by it back in the day (2005 - 2014) I would love to see this test with DYNO results too. The smoothing out of rough idles and improved throttle response in many UT videos may indicate a pick up in HP, which "Might" account for a reduced MPG. Carbon build up was often said to increase hot spots, incomplete burning, even to the point of retarding the timing, ect. I'm NOT a PRO mechanic, but if you get 1000 ASE cert. Mechs together, you'll likely get some fist fights going about SOME topic or another - lol SO, I'd love t see a DYNO and ECM outputs pre/post treatment. engine mappings. Where the carbon goes is a scary unknown!!! Is there a way to test the efficiency of the Cat Post? Likely response to this post?? Who's got the time and $$ to do all that and for me to go for it lol I doubt Seafoam would sponsor it.
What if you car has the catless racing down pipes. No cats at all. Should i not worry about build up in exhaust. Reason i went catless was because my cats wer totally clogged.
Great video. Really appreciate Your wave of videos. Your time invested in informing people is awesome. Much respect. I have been using Lucus products for years but cant say I've ever tried the Sea Foam.
SuperTA329 Thanks for your support. I’ve enjoyed making the videos. Some take longer than others, but comments and feedback like yours is what motivates me. 🍻
Hey Justin....I apologize if this has been asked and answered, but just today someone recommended sea foam which is why I went looking for some vids. The service lube co. suggested Lucas, both of which you do not recommend to use as a carburetor or fuel body cleaner. What cleaner do YOU recommend? Thanks a bunch!
I actually don't use a cleaner on my vehicles. I find that it often times causes more problems in the long run. It's better to either remove the throttle body itself and clean it by hand using brake cleaner or leaving it alone. That's just my two cent's worth. Cheers!
Get yourself some Decon or similar product they make special plastic holders for it or find ways to put it in and around your vehicle. This really works and the reason why is once the Vernon eat the poison they get thirsty they search for water and they leave your vehicle and go die. Used this stuff for years, especially in my RV mice and rats gone. Squirrels on the other hand those little jerks I have other ways for them.
Kinda like removing seasoning from a Cast Iron Frying Pan. It's cleaner,but something about the taste is different. A cylinder compression test before and after maybe interesting.
@@JustinDowDIYcentralhighway I have had good luck running a small amount of Seafoam in crankcase oil. It seems to free up sticky rings, reducing blowby.
@@maxwellpeter1598 Detonation and preignition can both occur in dirty chambers but are usually caused by something else. Too lean a mixture or faulty ignition system usually causes those.
The other day i was at walmart to pick up a gum out tuneup seen there wasnt and ive used lucas lubricant before i went n bought the complete engine treatment poured in my tank ive drove about 90 miles from fill up and gauge still full af. Carbon build up err lack of power havent felt any change. Mpg is 34.1 rn thats city and freeway driving together. Higher then previous fill up but previous fill up i actually had 5w30 full synthetic oil in the car its a 15' altima 2.5s.
I'd be curious to know what the mpg was a month or 2 down the road. It just makes sense to me that you'll get poorer mpg after diluting the fuel with something I'm sure is less combustible.
Not a bad idea and I respect your advice. I'm just not sure I want to see how bad the gas millage will go down as a result. Something else I've been wanting to test is to see how well water would work and if that would improve fuel economy and performance. I might try that sometime soon. Cheers!
I'd like to see you test Chevron Techron. Many years ago Consumer Reports said this was the only additive that they could see did anything and it really worked. This was back in the days of carburetors.
Hey man I don’t know about the seafoam but I would like to pint out Lucas is a 16oz can and it says add1oz per gallon 1 bottle treats up to a 21 gallon tank I’m sorry but that doesn’t make sense that’s like false advertising maybe try a full bottle at half a tank also if it’s fuel economy I used the Lucas 70k+ fuel treatment I put the entire thing in in half a tank because I was having engine knock it doubled my mpg…doubled I have never gotten miles like that before I filled up at a gas station and it dropped maybe by 5 mpg but lasted till I got to a quieter and filled up again then it went back to normal
Marvels mystery oil is the best shit you can use in your gas tank and even a little in your oil in between oil changes. Dont believe me? Then do some research on it.
All u have to do when ever you purchase a brand new vehicle. Is keep up with ur oil change as your owners manual require. Every 5000 miles if u using Full synthetic. Change ur air filter every other oil change. Or if u buy a K&N air filter you can clean it yourself. Now the average american usually fills up with the cheapest gas they can find to put in their vehicles. I would recomend not to do that. I use shell. shell uses the most detergents in their fuel to keep less carbon away from ur valves and ur injectors. Without any treatments after 100,000 miles then you decide to put a treatment in now then no ur wasting ur money it's not going do crap. It's basically made for if ur using it every 3000 miles to keep the cylinders lubricated and the injectors flowing right. If u wait too long ur just wasting ur money. I'm anal with my vehicle, if ur treat vehicle right then ur vehicle will treat u right for a long time.
Your average Fuel milage will vary depending on how many miles of highway and city driving you do combined. Which Im sure you did not drive the exact same amount of miles for both combined as well as the exact same way with each tank of gas in this experiment. Because, what kind of driver were you during that time? Grandma some days and Dale Sr. other days? Who knows how the F you drive. And what about weather conditions during that time? Or traffic conditions? So that data is out! Which is not critical to this video anyway, and i believe your findings to a certain extent i guess, but the fact that you would even reference that tells me your methodology is sus which makes me question you more than these products.
