Hi Scotty.

I recently acquired a '07 Saturn Ion with a 2.2 four and a manual transmission. The price was really right, so I brought it home. Oil color was good, but it was a little low so I toppped it off and took a drive that was a little more than 300 miles. When I gassed up, I was horrified to find that it had used nearly 2 quarts of oil, which was no doubt the reason that this clean little car with only 134000 miles was so cheap.

I topped up the oil, and to try and protect the catalytic converter, I installed a catch tank on the crankcase breather which had quite a bit in it every time I gassed up and topped off the oil. 

I started reading about those 2.2 ecotec engines and quickly discovered their tendency to get carboned up and use excessive oil if neglected. After viewing one of your videos, I decided to throw caution to the winds and give the ATS carbon clean a shot. First I tossed the fuel treatment into about a third of a tank indicated on the gauge.

Since the oil was basically changing itself, I saw only slight color on the rag when I used the dipstick. I ran the oil treatment for 20 minutes and then droppped the oil. It came out opaque black like the stuff that comes out of my Cummins powered Dodge. I couldn't believe it was that nasty in there.

After changing the filter and refilling it, I started driving it daily. 4 tanks of gas and a couple of long road trips later, I have NOT HAD TO ADD ANY OIL, and the hill I had to climb in 3rd to get to the grocery store can now be climbed in 4th.

Adding to this, my gas mileage has improved by about 4 MPG.

My engine is definitely sealing up a lot better than it was, and the last time I checked the catch tank on the breather, it had maybe a teaspoon in it. Just a little dribble.

The rings were definitely glued into the grooves, and the ATS appears to have freed them back up.

I worked in R&D at a company that developed fuel injection systems for almost 8 years, so I've seen a lot of "magic juices" that allegedly perform miracles, but only miraculously empty the customer's pocket. This one just plain works.

I'm very grateful for your tip about this stuff. I think the Cummins will be getting it next. 

Thanks Scotty. Your advice saved me the cost of a long block. That stuff was worth every cent I paid for it.
