Still, you're results with the cocktail are very similar to mine and I ran mine only about 30 days or so. I ran the MTL a year and a half but had less miles on it than you did so maybe not as definitive a result.




The oil is still sitting in a catch pan on my patio. I'll see if I can borrow my GF's digicam and try to snap a pic of the used MTL. I would try honey to have a comparison, but there's no way you will get me to pay $17 per quart. Especially not when MTL is $6.99 all over the net.

I ran the cocktail for 5k mi, which at the time was only 6 weeks or so. The first 30k mi with MTL was less than a year, so my car was definitely getting a work out. The last 30k mi was over about 20 months time.
