The actual effect on the performance of the car was hard to define exactly, and there was no increase in maximum speed.
The parts required to be lubricated fall under two main headings. First such parts as come in contact with the lubricant before combustion and secondly those which only come in contact with the burnt or burning gases.
It is the claim of the manufacturers of Speedoil that no normal oil can remain unchanged under the heat of combustion, and they make no such claim for their own product. This on the other hand works on quite a different principle. It is a chemical compound whose nature is naturally secret, but which, in addition to being a lubricant in its normal state, forms, when decomposed by the heat of combustion, a greasy compound which acts as a lubricant, and so attends to those parts which only come in contact with the products of combustion. here
Under the first heading come the inlet valve stems and guides, and these will be to some extent lubricated by the old method of mixing an ordinary mineral oil with the petrol. Such a practice has, however, a certain definite disadvantage in the fact that such an oil is bound to be completely burnt in the combustion chamber, which means a definite increase in carbon formation, and the resulting burnt product is liable to cause gumming up of the exhaust valve stems, and the consequent delayed operation of same will be detrimental to the exhaust valve seats. more
THERE has recently been a revival of interest in the problem of upper cylinder lubrication by means of fluids mixed with the fuel, and we have carried out a prolonged test of the substance known as Speedoil, marketed for this purpose. Before dealing with the result of our findings it will be as well to consider some of the problems arising in attempting to lubricate valves, guides, and the upper part of the cylinder by substance in the fuel.
The engine selected for test, was one of which the performance and habits were already well-known, one of them being that of badly burning its exhaust valves. The engine was cleaned out and then run with Speedoil in use for just under 4,000 miles. This engine was sufficiently worn to need decarbonising rather frequently, so after this period, as compression on one cylinder had become poor, it was taken down for examination. No adjustments had been made during the test, and the loss of compression was due to an exhaust valve tappet which was not allowing the valve to close fully. [links]

Arguably one of the best products on the market, this Lucas Oil upper cylinder lubricant works wonders with your fuel injection system.
Here’s a great video showcasing how this additive increased MPG by about 20%, now that’s amazing! more
One of the methods that this product uses to achieve these results has got to do with replacing polymers. Basically, most low sulfur diesel fuels and gasolines have had their polymers removed to comply with the government regulations for reducing fuel fumes in the air. While the goal was achieved, this also caused the fuel to become less lubricated and thus less efficient. We have cleaner air, but less useful gasoline. here
The product is designed to be extremely safe to use and thus contains no solvents, alcohol, kerosene, diesel fuel or anything else that could damage engine parts. It consists of various super slick oils and additives which are designed to lubricate the various systems it flows through, as-well as helping break up gunk in the injectors. This allows the fuel to burn more effectively within the engine, reducing fuel consumption. It is also able to replace the benefits of leaded fuel without the negative side-effects, so it’s great for use in older vehicles that require leaded fuel. And because it also neutralizes the harmful effects of low sulfur diesel fuel, it is similarly great for use in any diesel engine. more
Its lubricity improvers aid in protecting fuel injectors and other fuel-system components from wear, helping ensure excellent performance and long-life. Testing shows AMSOIL Upper Cylinder Lubricant delivers 18 percent more lubricity than Lucas* and 20 percent more than Sea Foam* for better retention of horsepower and fuel economy.
Todays vehicle owners only keep their vehicles a few years. According to this AutoTrader article the average person owns a vehicle 71 months, while the average age of vehicles on the road are just over 11 years old. [links]
Upper Cylinder Lubricants are added to the fuel, because this is the best way to get the additives in the product into and onto parts. Fuel runs from the fuel tank through the fuel pump into the fuel injectors where it is then sprayed into the combustion chamber. From the combustion chamber the additives get into the top end parts and do their work. here
AMSOIL Upper Cylinder Lubricant contains detergent additives designed to maintain injector cleanliness. Upper Cylinder Lubricant helps preserve injector and combustion-chamber cleanliness.
Upper Cylinder Lubricants have been used in Racing engines for a long time, because race fuels use alcohol. Alcohol attracts water and also washes the oil from the cylinder walls. This causes all the effects described above and an upper cylinder lubricant combats those problems. This in turn, reduces the wear damage causing these expensive specialized engines to last longer. here
Using a product like AMSOIL Upper Cylinder Lubricant, that is specifically designed and tested for this use prevents any problems from “making your own”. [links]
