I am curious about specific changes or effects users have experienced with this product, not just the manufacturer's claims and common myths.

Thanks.

I only use it as part of a cleaning regiment, not for normal operation. Any 5w oil probably work about the same but I like using something that is designed for the purpose.

Great for melting out sludge in an engine at a nice rate.
Cleans lifters.

It was just too easy...but as someone else stated above? Nothing goes in my crankcase other than Rotella T6. Stay on top of your regular maintenance and all should be good. I never use the stuff. So, sorry man.
