Mixed 3 ozs lucas ucl with bottle gumout high mileage ok?

[ziggy]

Doing something fun. Got some humour high mileage.bought quart size.Lucas ucl,which I use every tankful. 18 gallon tank.near empty its 14-15 gallons from needle reading,but I do
L around 13 gallon mark. Normaly,I put 6 oz Lucas in.well pump 7 gallons,stop,pour Lucas in,then finish filling with fuel. So,got bored n thought about piston cleanlines! I put 3 ozs Lucas and 6 oz bottle of gumout high mileage in. Humour advertises its a UCLA too. Last tank I put 6 oz lucas,and then the gumout.was overkill I think. Engine n.posting indeed reved fast with pedal down! So.felt the 3 ozs Lucas wad good enough. Is it? Or should I do4?5/ozs and bottle of gumout?.planning running a while like this..did I get ratio mix right?

What vehicle? Year? Mileage? What's wrong with your vehicle that you would need an upper cylinder lubricant every 18 gal of gas? Maybe better asked, what condition are you trying to remedy? or do you feel this is preventative? Please give us a little more.

Sorry didn't understand much of your post. Gumout Regane High Mileage also has a UCL in it. So adding 3-4 ounces of Lucas is probably all you need when combining both.

I personally go with the regular Gumout Regane and 6 ounces Lucas UCL with every tank.

I always wonder in these discussions what part of the upper cylinder isn’t being lubricated and requires this additive to accomplish that?

To lubricate the fuel pump and upper side cylinder area that oil doesn't reach. I'm interested in your opinion.

Fuel pump? Are you sure about that?

And the oil is reaching the “upper side cylinder area”. If it weren’t then every engine on the road that isn’t using a UCL would fail.

I think there is a lot of imagination about UCL products.

Never used a UCL product and never needed to waste my money on such a product.

Guess I bought into the marketing hype.

in older cars possibly and I would look into LX4 From Hotshots or the fuel additive from Archoil. I think ethanol is harder on the older cars that needed lead. I would honestly tell you to buy Redline Si-1 and use it twice a year with detergent fuel. If your hell bent on using the UCL, apply as directed and then go back to 50% as a maintenance dose. Non ethanol would be good too but it's hard to find sometimes. It's my birthday today and I hit food coma today at Longhorn Steak House so I'm off to sleep.

6 oz. of TCW-3 would be a less expensive UCL .
