they have one where it is good for 30k miles and you are supposed to change your filter @ regular intervals.
so the real trick claimed with treatment aka additive (not the oil itself) is it takes the dirty oil and when you add the treatment it uses heat and the carbon to make silicon carbide surface on everything so it is no porous.
Novel additive/oil that is out shadowed by "big oil", or snake oil?

I'm not really big into oil additives, I know someone here was running archoil though and provided oil analysis for it.
I run Precision turbo's HPL 5-30 diesel oil. It's $16 a quart, but I get it for a drastically reduced cost. One of my friends I studied engineering with works at Precision turbo and their shop is 10 minutes from my house. I'll be working on getting oil analysis done and forum discounts once I gauge more interest. I'll have a thread up relatively soon about it.
