I use Mystery Oil and Lucas (not in the same fill) at every fill up on all my vehicles. I've been using the Mystery Oil since the 1970's. I buy both by the gallon (cheaper that way). Places like Pep Boys will do their online (buy then pick up in store) with $25 off total purchases of $100. Pretty cheap in the end.

I have never used any of that kind of stuff in any vehicle for the 37 years I've been driving. And if I think back I don't recall having a problem with fuel delivery systems because I didn't put a cleaner in the tank. My 5.3 Silverado with over 220K miles has always been problem free with nothing but good gas and regular maintenance.

More lubricant than cleaner.

I use the Lucas in my '89 Century. Dont see the need for the Camaro......maybe when it gets the same miles as the Buick.

2002 Trailblazer 311,000 miles and the engine has never been touched. I do occasionally run a bottle of Techron thru it, maybe every 25,000 miles. I have tried a couple of different oils but most all those miles are on Mobil 1 full synthetic 5w-30

I have used Lucas lubricants in the past on old iron, great stuff. The way these new engines are built the only issues are injector spray pattern. Every oil change I like to use a injector cleaner in the fuel tank. I also am a fan of Techron. Every oil change I put a bottle of Techron injector cleaner through the fuel tank. It helps keep spray pattern complete.
