Great info on Lucas and your MPG. I've always liked how this makes certain engines run smoother.
With M1 0w20 and 5k OCIs, you do not ever need to flush. Save your money. But, if you can't help yourself, flush it every 5-6th OCI. Better yet, just run a maintenance dose of LubeControl, AutoRX, Lubegard Biotech,.........or something else.
I would try other fuel additives for comparison. Give MMO, FP60, 2-stroke oil, CA40, 131c,....... 1/2 dozen tanks of fuel.
Another thing to try is to lean the Lucas out a little to see how little you need before losing MPG. Try 3.5, 3 ,or 2 ounces per tank for 1/2 dozen tanks. Maybe you can maximize your savings a little more? I tend to find that some products tend to be overdosed. Others need overdosing. So, give 4.5-6 ounces a 1/2 dozen tankfuls too.
Bummer its an automatic. You are due for ATF maintenance. T-IV???? or WS???? An MPG or full synthetic ATFs cold help a little when cool out.
PSF too can be switched to a full synth.
Lucas, or any fuel additive, shouldn't affect how clean the oil engine looks on the outside. Thats the job of the M1 and 5k interval. Lucas should help keep your injectors clean along with controlling valve/combustion/pistion deposits.
Concerning your Techron usage, rotate among some of the brand available. Give Redline Si1, Seafoam, Berryman, Amsoil PI, Regane, 3M......
