I actually added the Lucas fuel injector about 30 mins ago and think I added a tad too much. I...uhh....didnt...uhhh....realize...uh... how fast it comes out

I ended up dadding about 9 ounces to a full tank of fuel so I guess I will be running rich for the next few weeks. Hope that won't be a problem

I have an SRT Intake on order so I think I'm gonna go that route. I was considering the K&N and really appreciate your input

9oz to a full tank??? That's nothing. When I had my fuel injectors cleaned through a different method, I ran about a 5oz of fuel for every 1oz of Lucas. This isn't petroleum based. Having a bit more of it wont kill your engine. Your car will be fine

My manual states that the GS300 take Denso SK16R-P11 plugs... but it says the gap is 0.043 in. on the sparkplugs website though it says 0.035 in. gap..

Pour Lucas Fuel Treatment directly into fuel tank.

Recommended dosage is 2-3 ounces of Fuel Treatment per 10 gallons of fuel.

Exceeding the recommended dosage is not harmful to your vehicle.



You're ok with it.

hmm, my fuel injector cleaner (i forget which brand) said to dump the whole bottle. from what i recall doesn't it just raise the gasoline temps? in any event, i'd also recommend it, if nothing else i can swear that my gas tank capacity restored itself a little bit, haha.
