I am curious about specific changes or effects users have experienced with this product, not just the manufacturer's claims and common myths.

Thanks.

Made me feel like I was doing something good for my vehicles, without ever really knowing why.

I only use it as part of a cleaning regiment, not for normal operation. Any 5w oil probably work about the same but I like using something that is designed for the purpose.

Great for melting out sludge in an engine at a nice rate.
Cleans lifters.

There's a good number of threads about MMO already. Plus MMO and rotella threads. Also 2 girls, 1 cup of MMO.

Sorry I asked. I was looking for real data, not smart a$$ comments and the same old "claims".

It was just too easy...but as someone else stated above? Nothing goes in my crankcase other than Rotella T6. Stay on top of your regular maintenance and all should be good. I never use the stuff. So, sorry man.
