It's one of those AMAZING POWERFUL BEST-EVER oil treatments they advertise really late at night. Kinda like Slick 50 I think.

I've used it...

Here's my review after putting about 800 miles on the car.
After first changing the oil and tranny fluid (auto) I put everything in after the car was warmed up just like it said. Noticable differences... yeah.. especially that first tank. Now, Honestly, either I have gotten used to it or it's not working.. I think it is still shifting better and my drive is better. As far as fuel economy. During the summer time, I'll pull 400 miles on one tank, it's winter and after losing some miles, after the oil change, I'm still doing ABOUT 400 miles.. so all in all.. I think it's worth it.

i agree

i've been using it for about a year (once every six months if not every oil change is recommended but i use it one every 6 months) like Piotrc70 said i definitely noticed the change the first time, now i think i got used to it, but the gas thing helps, i'm pulling more or less the same thing he is since using it.

Jules

worth it? yeah just don't buy it off tv, get it at Straus.

Ya I've used it,

I didn't notice any difference myself, but that's not saying much...

We sell that at our work for $50. I've seen it as cheap as $30 for the whole package. I htink it's a waste. All it does is gum up the engine and cause build up.

Mechanics in a bottle? I think not!

I have been told be many people the the prolong works for transmissions though. Just change the fluids at a regular time and your fine.
