2.2 Mixing Ratios. While the older Lube Control formulation dosages may have been appropriate for the sludge producing engines and poor oil formulations of the late 1950’s and early 1960’s, it is too potent a cleaner for modern lubricant formulations in its present suggested dosage; hence the following new recommendations.
2.2.1 The recommended treatment rate of LC for engine lubes in 4-cycle gasoline or Diesel engines is 1 0z./Quart for the initial dose, and 1 oz. every 1,000 miles or 1,610 km. Do not overfill crankcase.
2.2.2 For 2-cycle engines ¼ oz. or 10 cc per gallon of Fuel/Oil mix is sufficient for this application.
2.2.3 For automatic transmissions, 1.0 oz. or 30 cc for every 10,000 miles. Check ATF oil level while hot; do not overfill.
2.2.4 For power steering systems, 0.5 oz. or 15 cc. Check Power Steering oil level and do not overfill. Check when Power Steering Pump is hot.
2.2.5 For industrial hydraulic systems, 1% by volume should be sufficient. For example, if the sump tank capacity for a hydraulic system were 5 gallons, the suggested dosage would be about 6.0 oz, for a ratio of 1:100.
2.2.6 Engine Flush at a dose of 4 oz./Quart or 120 mL/L of PCMO (16 oz. per four-quart sump capacity with the engine at idle for 15 minutes or less) immediately before changing to new oil.
2.3 Fuel Power. The ratio of Fuel Power to fuel for maintenance dose is a ratio by weight of
1:640. The treatment rate of 1 oz./per five gallons is sufficient for both gasoline and diesel
engines, 2-cycle and 4-cycle engines. An initial “shock” dosage of 3 oz. per tank may be
needed for neglected fuel systems.

Wow you got some great answers....lemme just give my whacked ******* 2 cents: I put a couple ozs of FP in my gallon of premix (Amsoil Saber and premium Chevron)....
Real nice. Just cut a few dead snags, a bunch of hardwood hedge trunks with the chainsaw, then weedwacked with the Stihl wacker...so smooth and nice, zero smoke, and both start by just thinking about it
(Chainsaw must be 15-16 years old)
