    I think Lucas products are like anything else. You either love it or hate it. I have run a gal of oil stabilizer with oil change in every truck I've been in for the 21 yrs I've been over the road. Some trucks it made a big difference some not as noticeable but always had better oil pressure no matter what with it than w/out. I did use the product in question a couple of yrs ago in a cummins w/700+k miles. It blew black smoke every time I shifted or got in the throttle for a day or so, the truck did pull a little better & didn't have to do a parked Regen for a couple of wks vs every time I came off a 10hr brk after idling. Yes I idle my trucks if no APU you don't sweat or freeze at home, I'm not going to out here either! I am thinking of running it thru my current truck to see what it does in this one.

    I use deep clean in my 2017 579 mx13. I used it about every 4 months sometimes went longer. At 550k miles I had my dpf removed for cleaning. It was not in need of it. Had it cleaned anyway and they also told me it did not need it.
    I still have a clean filter at allmost 700k.
    That filter should have been real dirty since never cleaned till 550k.
    This stuff is well worth the cash.
    It does not save them sensors etc. They simply need to be cleaned in the normal method and replaced every few years or so.
    My EGR cooler is also still working good.
    Use after oil change. Or like I do just whenever I get the urge in between changes
