Man, this stuff was all the rage in the early 90's. When I was on active duty in the Navy, I remember a couple of guys selling this stuff on the ship for $75 a bottle. And, if it really did what it was claimed to do, it would well be worth the price. Today, you can pick this stuff up for $15 at WalMart.

I don't think it can hurt using the stuff and I am sure that most of the lawsuits that are out there are the result of car manufactures who do not want to pay for bills that they should be paying for and use an additive as an excuse.

One of my friends is the VP of a company that makes additives for just about every oil company out there. Motor oil is actually a pretty complex science. He once told me that if you want to do the best thing for your car, just use Mobil I and change it every 6-8k or when the pH starts to drop. Since that conversation, I have never used anything else other than Mobil I in any of my cars.
