I am not one to use oil additives, nor do I believe advertising hype that defies the laws and physics and chemistry. Watched several trusted YouTube videos in which this product seemed to work. I tried it in my 2006 Highlander with 193,000 miles which has seen 5K oil changes since new. The car will burn a quart or less in 5,000 miles if you run it hard--70-80 mph. I added a can to the oil and ran it for 15 minutes after a one mile gentle drive. The first think I noticed upon oil drain is the oil was black and gritty, which is abnormal for this engine. The particulate in the oil appeared to be gritty carbon. I refilled the crankcase with good oil and changed the filter. I didn't think it could run any smoother, but it does. The oil level has not moved in three weeks. This is not unusual because it has not been driven hard. For this SUV with a 2.4, 80 mph is near it's maximum. Time will tell, but so far, the oil is clean and the engine is very smooth, both at idle and under load. My opinion is there is only one place in the oil system that accumulates carbonized oil, and that is between the oil rings and in the ring grooves. There is no other place in the engine that receives that much heat and blow-by. The suspended material was considerable. These engines tend to be sensitive about oil coking in the oil rings, and this product definitely goes to work on it. Update: I used this treatment on my other two vehicles. My 2003 4cyl with 120K miles has been smoking on cold start for 15 years. The cold-start smoking has stopped and not returned in 6 months. My 2017 Tacoma did not show any significant darkening of the oil and there were no changes at 85,000 miles.
