ATS 505CRO oil treatment- When to use

Topic starter

I have a 2021 Toyota tundra with the V8 with 32,500 miles. My question is when to use this for that type of mileage on a vehicle. I used it recently on our 2015 Lexus RX 350 at 154,000 miles. Any thoughts are appreciated. 

I’m not seeing any need to use it at this time, but I want to do it more for a preventative standpoint.

ATS 505 oil treatment cleans carbon, it doesn't prevent anything. Using pour-in treatments on a 3 year old Toyota engine with 32K miles is an absolute waste of time and money.

It's not really intended for "preventative" treatment. As long as you stick with 5,000-mile oil and quality filter changes, you're fine. Oil treatments are for cars that have been neglected in their maintenance schedules and they have crud and sludge buildup. I've never used it on my 1999 Ranger, and it has almost 300,000 miles on it. 


ok thanks so much! Probably was a useful thing to do for our Lexus, IMO.
