i've been reading up and asking around about this, and i've had a lot of mechanics say its bad news. they all claim that it cleans out your engine, but it cleans it out too good. it cleans out all the gunk that has settled and has filled up any small cracks/holes.

they say that you can clean your car our and have it run good, but dont be surprised when you start having oil leaks and what not.

anyone else hear this???

yes. it's similar to somebody not switching transmission fluid for say, iunno..........100k When you put the new fluid in it starts to get all the dirt and grime that has been holding your busted a$$ vehicle together loose....thus causing problems in some cases....USUALLY this happens in engines with high milage.

I have run this in the oil on a clean oil change without changing it till 5,000 miles on a 91 MX6 127,000-147,000 with zero issues. Too bad the gas tank ruptured this week, cuz its going to the bone yard tomorrow and it runs like a champ.
