So I have been experimenting (subjectively) with a few different products, Amsoil Interceptor, Dominator oils as well as "Lucas Upper Cylinder Lube". For the last 6 months I have driven a few tanks with each oil, with 3-4 tanks in between running straight gas. Vehicle: 2003 Honda CRV (2.4L K24 engine) Here are my findings, take it for what it's worth:
Lucas UCL (dosage rate: 400:1)
-Engine runs quieter (only on startup)
-No change in mileage, unless over the recommended dosage rate (also starts to run rough)
-Engine responsiveness seems unchanged
-Pain in the [censored] during winter as it becomes thick as tree sap and impossible to pour.
Amsoil Interceptor (dosage rate: ~450:1) TC-W3 oil
-Engine runs quieter (both colder starting and operating temps)
-No change in mileage (from instantaneous readout)
-Engine responsiveness seems to be improved
Amsoil Dominator 2-stroke oil (dosage rate: ~450:1) TC oil
-Engine runs smoothest on this oil
-No change in mileage (again, from instantaneous readout)
-Engine power and responsiveness really does seem to be improved
I really find that there is something in this oil that makes for better combustion as the vehicle really does seem to have better responsiveness and in particular improved torque over the entire RPM range.
if anyone has had experience with this oil in their vehicle, please post. Otherwise, give it a try and call me crazy, or agree with me...
