Have any of you experimented with the ratio of UCL in the gas and its influence on crankcase oil consumption? FP, Lucas UCL, ATF, etc...
I generally run between 1:500 and 1:1000 UCL to gas, and find it has a marked influence on the amount of crankcase oil used by the engine. I first noticed this in my lawn equipment some years ago with ATF. I want evidence that the UCL is wetting the top ring, and the influence on oil consumption is giving it to me. But I don't want to stop oil flow from the crankcase past the top ring though, as this oil has the ZDDP in it.
I've stopped using ATF recently, and have begun using Lucas UCL. The ATF is a little more effective in controlling oil loss rate, but I feel alot better about using the Lucas from a sooting and ashing standpoint. I've entered the 21st century.
