As leaded fuel has become scarce, this concentrated additive restores the protective action that lead once provided, helping reduce valve seat wear and maintain engine durability when you must run low-lead or unleaded fuel. Each 12 oz. bottle treats up to 20 gallons of gasoline; this case contains twelve bottles so you can service multiple refuels or machines.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eHow does this product protect valve seats in older engines?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMotor Medic M5012-12PK deposits a durable protective film on valve and valve seat surfaces to help resist impact wear and recession.
