Well I was working the other day and reading through labels and was curious. This said on the back "if your car has more than 50,000 miles, this product is guaranteed to make you feel a difference in power." So, I was interested and bought a can.
I popped the top to some blue goo looking stuff and got sketched a bit, but I poured it in. Started the car to circulate it through and after running it for a while, I shut it off. Yesterday while driving I noticed a huge drop in oil pressure and a slight increase in low RPM torque. Is this 15PSI drop safe? Should I change my oil? Has anyone used this stuff before? -------------------- 1994 Toyota Celica GT-S 5S-FE 190k Miles. Project car 1992 Toyota Celica GT 5S-FE 170k Miles.

I waited until it burned off a bit (which was about a quarter quart every 400 miles before I put the can through due to the exhaust side valve leak, the sparkplug tube leak, and the oil pan gasket leak) and I didn't put all 4.1 quarts in to begin with because I was planning on using this stuff.
I fixed the spark tube leak at the same time though... so maybe the burning oil was from that and not the valves like I thought and I fixed the issue, not the product... but I've had nothing but good results so far. -------------------- 1994 Toyota Celica GT-S 5S-FE 190k Miles.
