Placebo effect or is there some truth in it?

Volvo is starting to smoke a bit, but then it is a 110k old Diesel.

I think it's a load of bollocks - but the write up is pretty good and it was recommended by a guy I know so I looked it up.

Was more interested in the theory of if it did work (even 0.1%) - how it worked.

well how it claims to repair and reverse the effects opf wear would mean its a miracle.

Bit like getting fish fingers and making top notch caviar from them.

What actually is it?

Just thicker oil that 'cloggs up' the gaps created by natural wear and tear? Or just some 10w40 with some magic fairy dust in?
