I doubt that actually works. Seems like it "worked" for some people and did nothing for others, which is potentially a sign the situations where it "worked" were just confirmation bias.

If you think it works anyway, be sure what you're using is ashless. That Walmart stuff you linked doesn't say anywhere that it's ashless or low ash. Running high ash oil through a fuel system can cause carbon buildup on engine valves.
