This engine uses the oil injection system,
which provides superior lubrication by
ensuring the proper oil ratio for all operat-

While many additives available may

has repeatedly proven its ability to clean
combustion deposits from inside the
engine, notably the critical piston-ring-
land area, and fuel system components.
