There are no such things as miracle cures only people making money off of other peoples ignorance.

Most of that stuff is just solvent based (think diesel, kerosene etc) intended to soften and swell the rubber seals or dissolve oil / carbon build up. OR really thick and sticky oil additives designed to fill the space between worn surfaces. Maybe ok for a 63 Rambler but not recomended for the tight tolerances of newer engines.

IMHO

mlddjb, I was only kidding. I'm really a smartass and the guys that posted before me are really really smart. It is snake oil, and it won't do you any good. Please don't hate me because I"m beautiful.

Yeah sorry man, it's just a little bit of a search, well not a little... The title of the thread I posted is the exact name of the product your questioning, would have yeilded you with those results. And since it was easily available and your were being lazy you get :flamed:

We were all just kidding. I am a very sarcastic person and didn't mean to offend. It's all fun and games.

I know the advertisement on the box looks great and it did just what it is suppose to do. It makes you believe that pretty oil can magically put new rings in your car for you. They pay a lot of money to advertise the stuff on t.v. so you only fell for a marketing add. No big deal. Now you know better for the next time. You'll find people that swear buy it, but I swear by the guys on here that have actually analized this and other products like Lucas products.

Remember, it's the intranetz, and you have to have thick skin.
