Show me one, and I mean one, study/dyno or any proof whatsoever that "engine build up" acutally leads to problems with both power and the way the engine runs and I MIGHT buy it.

we have cars with 80K+ dynoing exactly the same as cars with 10K. Its all snake oil, plain and simple.

I tried it on my 96 geo, but I will N E V E R pour anything down my intake manifold of my GT. "cleaner" usually means "solvent"... and solvents remove oil and leave nice places for metal to rub metal and... well you get the picture.

Want to keep your engine clean? Run a good brand of gasoline, a name brand synthetic oil, and change it every 3K.
