Sunoco Oil treatment - Toyota Nation Forum : Toyota Car and Truck Forums

Where can I find Sunoco Oil treatment liquid? I heard from a mechanic that can be used for high milage cars to avoid engine oil loss. It is a very thick liquid which takes 4-5 hours to be poured down to the engine.

Thanks

Don't, just use thicker oil if you want thicker oil. its not magic, it just turns your oil into molasses.

Magic voodoo potions don't do any good. If an engine is worn out, it is worn out.

Just switch to a high mileage formula engine oil. Castrol GTX high mileage or Valvoline Maxlife if you want a semi-synthetic blend. Both have additives that will condition worn out seals and are thicker to prevent burn off.

Don't fall prey to those other gimmicks.

I've been using the Castrol formula for a few months now and I havent seen any difference in oil consumption. I'll be replacing the VSS when the weather gets warmer or just say the hell with my 222K engine and plop in a silvertop.

SOMETIMES funky additives work, but not very often.
