I was at bomgaars today to pick up some oil and I was looking at fuel additives and I saw lucas tune up in a bottle. It saids it treats 25 gallons of fuel and my ranger holds I think 20? Could I just pour the whole bottle down without harming the engine?

I heard really good reviews about lucas oil products and all my friends use it all the time. It says it treats gas and diesel engines...

Yes, you can just pour the whole little guy in the tank.

I have found it is actually cheaper to then buy the big bottle and refill the little one out of it.

I used Seafoam in the tank once a year, do notice a difference by the next tank, then over the year I guess I just don't notice less performance because it's so gradual.

I do use cheap regular gas, so no additives.

How often should I do this? I haven't noticed anything yet. I heard it cleans up your injectors real good and makes your engine run better!

I usually add one bottle to the tank, then fill it. I used to do it on the first tank after an oil change, but that was when I drove more than 5000 miles a year.

Did you have to change out your fuel filter a lot more frequently when you use it?
