Using the Mychron LCU1S Lambda Air/Fuel Ratio Sensor Kit is easy. First, make sure you have the Mychron 5S or Mychron 6 Gauges as it only works with these models. If you need the Lambda Sensor Weld On Pipe Bung, you'll have to buy it separately. Install the sensor kit on your engine as per the standard installation guidelines. Once installed, it will start detecting the Lambda values of your engine's carburetion. You can then use these values to adjust the carburetion for better performance. When it comes to maintenance, since the Bosch LSU 4.9 probe is designed to last over 100,000 km on a stock car, you generally don't need to replace it frequently. However, keep an eye on its performance. If you notice inaccurate readings or other issues, it might be time to check or replace the probe. Also, remember that this kit won't work with older Mychron 5 models or any Mychron 4 gauges, so don't try to use it with those.
