It helps to prevent a build up of carbon on valve heads & stems etc, but one tip I learned, was to use a 2 stroke oil, it seems to have the same properties at a lower cost.

So does ragging the @rse off it whenever the opportunity arises. It's more fun too.  ;)

Does that mean using excessive revolutions per minute? Think of your carbon footprint. ::)
If you do that with upper cyl. lube, you'll have valves & pistons as smooth as a babies b*m

It does work - I use it on every tank of petrol.

Keeps the injectors clean - this is an issue with LPG
