I have always emptied a couple of litres of oil out of the sump, topped up with diesel fuel, run 5 minutes then drain the lot. Add new oil and filter. No more blowby.

I have been using these products for 11 years in all my machinery. I bought my MN 2.5 litre diesel Triton new in 2010 and it now has 537,000 kms on the clock and does not burn one drop of oil between 15,000 km services , it still runs the original injectors and still pulls like a freight train ! A very good Australian product. Highly recommend CEM.

Can I use this safely if I barely have blow by or close to none at all on a gasoline engine?

How to use these products

Warning! Use as directed! Do not go cheap, and use with old oil and filter! Use new oil, even if cheap, and filter! I went cheap, as I just put in a lot of money in engine work. So, I added the Oil additive to oil I was going to be changing out. Ran it for 45 minutes at 1200 rpms, as directed. Then I idled it, while waiting to get in shop at normal idle. My oil pressure warning went on, oil pressure dropped to 0, shut engine off warning came on. They drained oil. It was sludge! Pulled apart oil filter. Gunked up... threw in new, but cheap oil, let run 10 minutes. It looked like sludge. Black sludge! That stuff cleans out every thing! Definitely use new oil, not old! My mistake. I figured it was expensive, especially with FTC Decarbonizer I added to fuel, and the Valvoline Restore I bought for the oil change at $85 per gallon! Well, cheapest oil was $25 per gallon, as of recent, so I went cheap. Don't do it! Change Crank Case filter too! So, in went the Restore oil, and hopefully that cleans out whatever is left, along with using the FTC, and in 12-15k, going to straight Valvoline Premium Blue. The mechanic dropped the pan, checked the bearings, liners, etc, and said it looked real clean!

My 7.3 power stroke has 262k miles. It does not burn any oil but does have a decent amount of blow by. Do you recommend this product for my situation? Thanks

Can you use the decarbonyzer in a Petrol engine?

What’s name both product and where I can find?

wouldnt oil sludge prevent blowby? Im so confused. Like oil sludge will literally block the passage between rings and cylinder walls so removing the blockage....would send more oil up?
-
what is the name of the company that makes these products?
-
Is this safe for gasoline/e85 engines?
-
I used Lucas oil stabilizer and it almost completely eliminated blow by in my 6.0

Great product but cant see how it can clean turbos as the fuel goes nowhere near the turbo??
