MaxLube for engine oil and Dee Zol for diesel fuel can improve fuel economy while decreasing wear and maintenance for engines, said Lion Heart Industries.

MaxLube is mixed into engine oil in a ratio of 8 ounces for every three quarts of either synthetic or petroleum-based engine oil or manual transmissions. Dee Zol fuel additive is added at a ratio of 1 ounce for every 10 gals. of diesel fuel.
