I put some in a Pontiac Sunbird I had, which had like 194,000 miles on it - it did nothing. Not even a slight difference.

do it and then compression test it a few days later. It does have some benefits but wont fix a ragged engine. It will help slow engine oil burning.

not many of those additives work. especially at that price. the ones that usually work are very expensive but dont do much at all.

the only time I've ever used it, was with an LS motor I had that had 249,000 miles and was on it's last legs.
It helped with oil consumption, but I imagine that's partly because it was thick as ****.
Would never put it in a b-series vtec motor or a motor I planned on keeping a while.
