I beleive it thickens the oil a touch and makes it somewhat sticker, thus sticking to the components more and reducing harsh cold starts...

The Detox says only 10 mins with a running engine.

I wouldnt recommend driving the car with the detox in.

about 10mins before you do an oil change in your garage, do the Detox, turn the engine on and let it idle for 10min min. After than your good to go do your oil change as normal.

After you have drained oil, replaced oil filter etc and are ready to add new oil, add the oil stabiliser FIRST, then the new oil. It will mixed better that way.

It will take about 30seconds after you start your car, to see how the new additives have worked.

* The engine doesnt sound like a bag of 'marbles' straight after releasing the accelerator.
* Car idles quieter

i used this the other day and experienced the same results, very happy with it.

I think an important thing to remember when doing this is using the correct grade oil.

I used Penrite GAS 20w/60 and I reckon its too thick. Next time I'm gonna go back to Penrite HPR gas 10w/50, or perhaps go full synth 5w/40.
