    I'm NOT using that crap. It's not worth the time. And it doesn't work.

    There's no point in changing the oil if you don't replace the filter also...

    I actually use protect and restore and have reported no oil use between oil changes for about the last 10 oil cycle changes. But maybe antifreeze is mixing with the oil
