Waste of money. MSDS makes no mention of PEA, polyetheramine, which is the proven additive you want (there are SAE papers on it). Technically they do not have to declare it on an MSDS, but these products do and have high amounts of it, last I checked:

Red Line SI-1 (highest PEA I've seen)
Chevron Techron Concentrate
Amsoil Performance Improver (second highest I've seen)
Gumout Regane

I would only use those once per oil change and I would do it on the final tank of gas before I change the oil, just in case I did dislodge anything.

The Techron Concentrate is BOGO fairly often at auto parts stores. The Gumout Regane is $4.94 on Amazon right now.

So basically this Royal Purple stuff is good, not the best?

My point was that it's a total unknown. It might have zero PEA, it might have tons. If you're going to spend the money and use such a product, why not use one of the four I listed that definitely has the proven ingredient and has it in a sufficient quantity?
