This Carlube Classic Car Lead Substitute is designed for owners of older vehicles and classic cars originally manufactured to run on leaded fuel. It provides crucial lubrication for soft valve seats, helping to reduce wear and prevent recession, while also cleaning the fuel system and offering corrosion protection. A key benefit is its ability to extend the life of engines in vehicles not designed for modern unleaded fuel, though it's important to consult your vehicle manufacturer before using lower octane fuels.

No, this product is specifically formulated for older vehicles and classic cars originally designed to run on leaded fuel. Modern cars have different fuel system requirements and do not typically need lead substitutes.
For best results, it is recommended to use the entire contents (300ml) with every tank fill, treating up to 50 litres of petrol.
Using less than the recommended amount may reduce the effectiveness of the valve seat lubrication and protection benefits. It is best to use the entire 300ml bottle for tanks up to 50 litres.
This product aims to simulate the protective properties of lead in modern unleaded fuel, specifically for valve seat lubrication and wear prevention. It does not fundamentally change the octane rating or composition of the fuel itself.
While not explicitly tested with all other additives, it is generally advisable to use fuel system cleaners or additives one at a time to avoid potential interactions. Consult product instructions or a specialist if unsure.
The product should be stored in its original, sealed container in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. While specific shelf life varies, properly stored, it should remain effective for several years.
Ensure the product was added correctly to the fuel tank and fully mixed. Verify that the correct amount was used for the fuel volume. If issues persist, consult a mechanic to rule out other potential engine problems.
Clean up the spill immediately with absorbent material. Dispose of the contaminated material safely according to local regulations. Wash affected skin areas with soap and water.
Consult your vehicle's owner manual or contact the vehicle manufacturer or an authorized dealer for specific advice regarding additives and fuel types for your model.
