[Shotimes] Does this actually work?

[Paul Nimz]

I use Castrol GTX HiMilage and it has just about stopped the oil burning,
2000 miles per qt  vs. 700 mile per qt.  Auto-RX does too but is very
expensive (IMHO) for use as a maintenance item and if you don't keep using
it in the maintenance mode the oil burning will return.  Auto-RX will clean
the carbon out much better though when used in the cleaning mode.
