Steve - add them both at the same time??? How often?

Yessir, absolutely,..

It depends on annual mileage, but a twice a year treatment helps keeps the injectors at peak performance and the intake valve stems clear of soft carbon.

Have either of these changed formulations over the years? Used to use it at my shop in the mid-late '80's. Never had occasion to pull an engine apart that we used it on regulary........that I can remember, anyway. But it came highly recommended.

Nope,..still the "good stuff" in my book,...

I have no reservations about using these products in anything with a 4-stroke engine.

If it suddenly sprouted poppet valves, you are good to go,....

If not, put just a bit of Castrol R in the gas and make your neighbors smile.

make sure you use the stuff two tanks before an oil change. It is well indicated on the lubro moly it is best to use before an oil change because the oil gets some of the stuff in it.
I used to hear from old-school that it cleans the tank as well.

lUBRO MOLY is LIQUI MOLY in europe. (try guessing why they changed the first word for the US market)
The brand is german and the factory is in france. regards
