Any recommendations on which one to get and how much to use? I don't know if one ounce per ten gallons is effective or not.
Thanks

This is exactly why I use a UCL. For several years I had a second van which would sit for weeks, sometimes months at a time. I liked the idea of a thin residual film of oil coating the cylinder walls and preventing flash rusting. A UCL provides this kind of protection, along with protecting the injectors. Some people report higher mpg, others a smoother running engine. I've experienced a smoother running, and better idling engine in older cars. I think the UCL provides a better ring seal in cars that might have some piston ring wear. It is certainly worth trying and forming your own conclusions.
Dermapaint pretty much covered it all.
Great post
