How many times have we heard testimonials like this over the years. Maybe someone here can try it and share the results. Trouble is, many engines here are in an advanced state of wear. Properly rebuilt engines shouldn't consume significant volumes of oil. Oil leaks everywhere indicates excessive wear or bad seals increasing crankcase pressure beyond spec.

I use it in my 6.0 Powerstroke. It is very good for that. Haven't tried it in anything else.

According to Jay Lano it works right? I don't have the money to experiment on my 8v92 to see if it runs cooler reducing HP seems like the best route to go. I know it works on the powerstokes but that's about it.
