Upper Cylinder Lubricant

Product code : UCLCN-EA

Preserves Horsepower and Performance

Your engine’s top-end is sparsely lubricated and prone to the development of performance-robbing deposits. It’s also highly susceptible to corrosion, an issue compounded by the prevalence of ethanol in today’s fuel. AMSOIL Upper Cylinder Lubricant is designed to solve those issues. Its AMSOIL-exclusive, powerful formulation helps maximize engine power and performance while increasing engine life. And unlike competing fuel additives, AMSOIL Upper Cylinder Lubricant works.

Upper Cylinder Lubricant



Lubricates Top-End Components
The intense heat of combustion and limitations of the oil-control piston ring result in a lack of oil at the top of each cylinder. AMSOIL Upper Cylinder Lubricant's unique additives provide that missing lubrication to fight piston-ring and cylinder wear, maximizing engine compression and horsepower. Its lubricity improvers also aid in protecting fuel injectors and other fuel-system components from wear, helping ensure excellent performance and long-life. 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 (see chart below).1

Lubricity Performance Graph

Inhibits Corrosion
Upper Cylinder Lubricant uses potent corrosion inhibitors to coat metal surfaces, block out moisture and stop deterioration before it starts. This is particularly important when using gasoline that contains ethanol due to its propensity to attract water and hasten corrosion. Inhibiting corrosion maximizes component life and reduces wear in the engine's top-end to guard against compression loss and maintain optimum power.

  • Lubricates fuel system and upper cylinders
  • Fights ethanol-related corrosion
  • Helps keep injectors clean
  • Compatible with capless fuel systems

Keeps Injectors Clean
Upper Cylinder Lubricant contains detergent additives designed to maintain injector cleanliness. While AMSOIL P.i. Performance Improver is designed to attack and remove stubborn injector deposits that can reduce power and fuel economy, Upper Cylinder Lubricant helps preserve injector and combustion-chamber cleanliness. Using it with every tank of fuel helps retain fuel-economy and performance gains and maximizes component life.

Capless-Compatible Packaging
Many new vehicles have replaced traditional fuel caps with capless systems. The threads on most bottles restrict them from opening the flap inside the fuel neck and make removing the bottle difficult. The AMSOIL Upper Cylinder Lubricant bottle is fully compatible with capless fuel systems. It's easy to insert, pour and remove the bottle.

RECOMMENDATIONS

  • For use with cars and trucks.
  • For best results, use with every tank of fuel. Do not refill tank until almost empty.
  • Treats up to 25 gallons. Add entire bottle to tank at fill-up.
  • Treat large gas tanks with two bottles of Upper Cylinder Lubricant. Using more than two bottles is not recommended.
  • Safe for use with catalytic converters, oxygenated gas and up to 15 percent ethanol-blended fuels. Do not use with E85 fuel.
  • Do not use with two-stroke or diesel engines.

    Outstanding Upper Cylinder Cleaner
    By  RICH,  a  Verified Buyer  on  December 01, 2023
    Once again I find Amsoil to be superior. I have used this consecutively for five months and found that my valves were way cleaner after use, than prior to using this product. If I can see what five months has done, imagine a year of using this product and how it would keep them clean. Thank you Amsoil. I would seriously recommend using this as a preventive measure monthly.
    Bottom Line
    Yes, I would recommend this to a friend.

    After using P.i. Performance Improver Gasoline Additive which is only used once every 6000-7000 klm. I decided to use this product to help with upper cylinder lubercation. I noticed 2 things after using 1/4 tank of fuel. 1. my motor ran quieter at start up and my milage increased from 10.5L/klm to 9.7L/klm. I continue to use this product and plan on doing so from now on.

    Upper cylinder lub for my engine
    By  JOE,  a  Verified Buyer  from  Southeastern Mn   on  October 07, 2023
    Talk to a Rep a couple years ago and he suggested I use this product for my hard workin’ engine that is pulling my 5th wheel camper. Being a mechanic all my life and a strong believer in upper cylinder lubricants, I questioned the abilities to do what they claim. After researching and talking to others and seeing the results on Amsoil products, I have been using the upper cylinder lub in every tank. I need to do the best I can to make my engine work the best for me and last the longest for me. I believe Amsoil products do what they say.
    Bottom Line
    Yes, I would recommend this to a friend.
