Let me end the suspense – there is no magic bullet when it comes to vehicle maintenance. Keeping your engine in top form requires more than one tool in your toolbox. Enter the one-two punch of AMSOIL P.i. Performance Improver and Upper Cylinder Lubricant.

Consider your pearly whites for a moment. To avoid a painful situation, you make the pilgrimage to the dentist’s chair a couple times a year and brush your teeth as much as possible between visits. Cut out half that equation and you’re asking for trouble.

Inside your engine, P.i plays the role of dentist – the deep clean. Upper Cylinder Lube is your daily brushing – the keep clean. It’s a comprehensive strategy that helps keep your engine running smoothly.

What’s the problem?

P.i and Upper Cylinder Lube work in tandem to address common issues many drivers encounter.

P.i hits these issues head-on with concentrated detergents that aggressively clean stubborn, power-robbing deposits. Upper Cylinder Lubricant preserves and builds upon those gains. It maintains cleanliness (particularly the all-important fuel injectors), pinpoints the sparsely lubricated top-end and fights ethanol-related corrosion.

Two steps for a clean and protected engine

Step 1 – Deep clean with P.i. Performance Improver every 4,000 miles

  • Cleans fuel injectors, intake valves and combustion-chamber deposits
