    I had a 2001 Camry CE that developed a check engine light that turned out to be an evap code. Scotty suggested in another video that Shell gasoline could cure the problem. I burned nearly all the gas in this car and then filled it up with Shell gasoline. The check engine light went out and the code disappeared after burning half a tank. I added ATS oil additive to my 2012 Camry LE hybrid with 147K miles yesterday. The oil that came out of the engine was nearly black after this treatment! This ATS gas treatment is next for this Camry! I wish that I lived next door to Scotty. He is a true automotive savant. Trust what he says implicitly!

Hwy economy went from 6L/100kms to 5L/100kms. Broken down that works out to approximently 50kms (30mi) further per tank of fuel. All this at a cost of $11.99CAN. I may not be saving any money with the additive but my car and the environment is happier about it.

    The cleaner that Scotty dumps in the tank is from ATS carbon clean and called "505 CRF" for fuel and "505 CRO" for oil. The MSDS, aside from mystery ingredients under "TRADE SECRETS", says active ingredients are "Dipentene", Limonene, turpentine, some kind of organic peroxide, and "oil". Dipentene is a tree-based oil used in solvents and pharmaceuticals.

    I had a miss fire on my 2004 Jeep Cherokee 4.0 liter, no code either, but you and see and feel it when idling. I changed the spark plugs, still doing it. If you put in fuel injector cleaner it clears up some, but it still had a miss fire and idling rough. I put in a new igniter bank, that cleared it all up, runs and purrs like it was a new engine, but with my code reader and the code reader at a trusted mechanic, not was registered.

I bought a 2003 Land Cruiser last month with 342,000 miles for $3500 as well, the interior is in rough shape but engine and transmission are buttery smooth after I replaced the #1 coil and spark plug! Due to misfiring. Thank you Scotty 😊 learn all the tips and tricks from you over the past few years! Now my LC keeps throwing a code P0430, I used the liquid stuff, used better gas quality, cleaned the MAF, still didn't help! Help me Scotty 😊

      Po 430 is a Catalytic converter code .
      Try some " Cataclean " in your fuel but read the directions first .
      You can get it at Walmart .
      I used it on a 2005 Highlander with the same po 430 code and it cleared the code .

    Scotty, I have a 2017 Toyota Prado, four-cylinder turbo diesel, reading from the odometer is 167,000 km and it was consuming 11.6 L per 100 km I dump some of this stuff in the diesel tank and when I change the oil I dump some in the oil of course it’s the gray one for the oil not the one you show in the video and my goodness after driving 600 km I went to fill the tank and check the reading again and we were down to 10.3 L per kilometer. So this stuff works in the oil and in the diesel. Brand new Toyota Prado will get 10.1 L per 100 km. Bear in mind this is full-time four-wheel-drive. I guess my question is how frequently should I use it in the oil and how frequently should I use it in the diesel tank? Thanks for everything you post.
