They claim they treated a Renault 5 with the stuff (which involves driving for about 1000 miles) and then drained all the oil from the car. Then they drove it around France for several thousand miles! Pretty impressive, I thought. So I bought some and used on my BMW 320i. I changed my oil every 7500 miles or so, and had zero engine problems for the 45000 miles or so that I drove the car. They also claim a very small increase in gas mileage - on the order of 1-3%, and an equally small increase in available horsepower. And they have a highly filtered product approved for use on airplane engines.
