It cleans the carbon build up and cleans all the gunk inside of your engine.

your not suposed to use it if you have a lot of miles on your car...prolly over like 90,000 because it cleans it so good that it will clean out all the carbon helping the gaskit seal good and you may lose compretion...just what i have heard

I was reading up on it, and supposedly its bad for plugs and o2 sensors. Which kinda makes sense. I bought it today, but I'm not sure if I'm gonna go through with it. Thats a good point about the high mileage. Scares the crap out of me now !!!

I wonder if I just do the vacuum line and gas and skip the oil if that will work without worrying about affecting seals, etc. What do you think?

first off...i cant spell, second i did it to my stang a couple months ago with a little under 60,000 miles on it and it seemed to run smoother. the only thing is that i didnt put it in the crank because when you do that you need to change your oil after like 50 miles, i need to change my oil now tho so i am probably gonna put it in the crank soon.

but if you've taken good care of your car in the first place and not let all the crap build up, you shouldn't have to wory about that.
