I was interested in this product as well. However, I stumbled across a site that did a rough test on it and the results were rather interesting.

Seems to foam up a great deal. Hope this helps.

I was going to use the stuff until I read this. Just stick with good oil.

Sounds good unless it's like Lucas Electrics in older British cars and bikes.

I used it in my CRX. It was great at start-up... But the car honestly felt like it ran sluggish after I added it... I quit using it soon-after.

unless you have oil pressure prolblems don't use it. the car will be more sluggish and have a little worse gas milage due to having to pump that gel through your engine. synthetic is awalys a better option
