I can't see the pic in your link but this is it:
http://www.lucasoil.com/products/dis...el%20Treatment

It says 2-3 ounces per 10 gallons... which is about the amount of fuel you would add to your tank if it were almost empty (11.9 gallon tank, is it?). Since the bottle is 5.25 ounces I would say yea, half a bottle. Keep in mind the top of the bottle is narrower so halfway would probably be between the bottom and middle of the shield in the Lucas logo.

Why no warm up whatsoever?

For point 2, do you mean when parking or just anytime slowing down?

he means just anytime slowing down. I think he is referring to engine braking
