I dont believe in any additive for engine flushing or octane boost. The man with the know it all would probably be The oil man

It's not an addative, it's an internal cleaner. If there are any performance/power gains i will just be restoring what's been lost through dirty valve seats etc.

As Gordon has said and like it says on the front of the can.

I've used an octane booster once or twice before and I noticed a gain in acceleration. Not enough to pin me back into the drivers seat, but enough to put a smile on my face.
