Hot Shot's SecretLX4 Lubricity Extreme 1 Gallon, Fuel Treatment for All Engines, Gasoline & Diesel Additive, Fuel Additive Increases Lubricity, Protects & Extends Fuel System Life

I must say that I up keep my Explorer in everyway, oils changes on time religiously, coolant flush on time, all scheduled maintenance done on time, but I drive a lot of miles, 124 miles Monday through Friday, more when I have to pick up my daughter. So the wear and tear happens no matter the upkeep. Lately I've felt the car somewhat sluggish and I happen to fall upon this and read what it offers and decided to give it a shot based on the reviews. I must say that the difference was night and day, the car became more quiet, drove smoother, enhanced performance on the highway, it was a real noticeable difference. It just felt so much better when I put my foot on the pedal. Now with that said, I really didn't noticed better MPG, and maybe that was because I upkeep and baby this car. This was very simple to use, simply use 2 oz per fill up, you squeeze the bottle and it has a 1 ounce fill cup on the top of the bottle which is beyond helpful to make sure that you do not over use. I've driven over 2k miles since using this and I can assure you that it will not be a major part of my upkeep.

I use this in a 1997 Ford F150, a 2022 F250, 2016 Ford Explorer and a 2019 Ford Edge. Purchase this by the gallon jug. Will not be without it. Vehicles run so much smoother. From start up on -15 below mornings (all but three vehicles sit outside) to running down the Interstate at 80 mph. You notice the difference. A lot of gas stations have alcohol in their gas up to 20% (pump says 10% but law allows more and sometimes that alcohol separates out in the in ground tanks). That alcohol burns just fine, but today's engines need a little protection from what is being delivered at the pump.

Prevent the disco party. At this price it’s cheap insurance. I never fill up without it.

If you’ve got a 10-16 D-MAX, you should already know the situation with the CP4 fuel pump. The diesel in the U.S. doesn’t have the lube in it like the old days due to emissions. The fuel is too dry and the pumps are “Grenading” on people. I use a lot of Hot Shot’s Secret products on my truck without any issues. I mix this with the HSS Everyday Diesel additive at every fill up. It’s a phenomenal product and well worth every penny you spend on it. If you have any questions, contact HSS website and it will get you where you need to be for an answer. I’ll keep using this until something better comes along. Until then, best of luck.T.H.

Best stuff on market if you have a truck with a cp4 you should be adding this to every single tank!

If it keeps my cp4 fuel pump functioning and prolongs the life of my vehicle, I will be one satisfied customer.

Hotshot secrets puts out great products and I have used just about every one so far. I use the LX4 product mostly in my VW jetta TDA as it has a CP4 high pressure pump that is known to go bad without proper lubrication in US diesel! Works great and havnt had any issues so far. Lasts a while when treated at recommended treatment levels!

My 2001 Silverado HD has a 100% stock 6.6L LB7 turbo diesel, manufactured before ULSD regulations were promulgated for the United States in year 2007. For years, my engine has had an idle lope, and which recently upon fill up at a Chevron-branded station became more pronounced and was accompanied with a steady blue smoke plume from the exhaust. I suspected that the fuel pressure regulator was not moving smoothly enough and causing the fuel rail pressure to bounce around outside of target values. Since ULSD does not have the lubrication properties of pre-ULSD fuel, I wanted to try a lubricity additive, beyond the Power Service Diesel Kleen I have used since day 1. So I bought a bottle of this Hot Shot's Secret LX4 Lubricity Extreme, and added 5 ounces to my 34 gallon fuel tank that was full. I allowed it to sit overnight, and ran the truck in park for 10 minutes the first day, then let it soak again overnight. I ran it again for 10 minutes the next day in park, and let it sit overnight. The third day I drove it. The surge was totally gone and replaced with a beautiful smooth steady idle, and the blue tailpipe smoke was also gone. The exhaust from the tailpipe is now totally invisible. It's my belief that the pre-2007 Duramax engines were not engineered for the lower lubricity of modern diesel fuel, and for me, this has product is a huge blessing. (I do think the major fuel manufacturers like Chevron are meeting formal lubricity standards, but not to the lubricity level that the Duramax design engineers had in mind in earlier years pre-2007). Unless something changes, I'll use it from now on in my Silverado. Terry Livingston, Mobile, AL
