Have some leftover Lucas Top Cyl and Injector lube. Last week, The new snowblower seemed to want help and some top oil in that helped immensely. That had less then 10 hours on it.
On my new Jetta with a 6 speed manual, I unfortunately had a hard run, due to family emergency, into Boston under high -mid boost for an hours drive on the interstate at 75-95 MPH. On the way home late that night. the poor VW seemed to loose considerable power . The car only had 680 miles of careful break in at that point. The engine has felt weak ever since even thru some partial tanks of Sunoco Ultra. Before this the car would toss you back in the seat like a 350 Chevelle under boost in second gear.
Since this VW has a super high pressure D.I. fuel rail (way over 1000psi) .I thought a little top oil in the gas should have no problem getting atomised. I treated at 1/2 floz per gallon.
I'm half way through that tank and -surprise-.the engine seems to have regained its power. I didnt really expect the top oil to do anything, frankly.
Plan next week is to run this tank down to near reserve and refill with no top oil this time and see what it does.
Anyone else top oiling a Turbo or non turbo D.I engine? Thinking it aids compression and ring seal. IN my vivid imagination
Thanks, -Ken
