Gumout Multi-System Crankcase 63K 2005 Escalade 6.0L?
I took delivery of my 2005 6.0L Cadillac Escalade ESV with 17 miles on the odometer. I have used 93 octane exclusively and Mobil1 changing based on Driver Information Center Computer or 1 year, whichever came first.
I have previously never used any oil or fuel additives. Based on your videos, I recently ran 16 oz of Gumout Multi-System Tune-Up through the fuel system and took a 130 mile back roads drive at varying speeds and getting on it frequently. Expended 25 gallons before refueling. Positive results.
Your different videos seem to offer conflicting advice on whether I should run 6 oz (1 oz per quart of oil) of Gumout through my oil immediately before my next oil change.
Prophesy, Oh Oracle At Kilmerphy.

your manual says you can 91 or 87 as well. It won't harm anything

5 miles per gallon is "positive"?

which part are you conflicted about? I would just follow the directions on the can, though I'm not sure why you need additives with only 63,000 miles on it.
1) Harm no. Optimal performance, also no.
2) The 25 gallons *included* but was not exclusive to the 130 miles.
3) The question is not the quantity but whether the potential detriments Scotty has mentioned outweigh the benefits.

do you race it?

ok so useless data

if it's running fine, and oil was changed regularly, then what benefits?
Detriments are pointless waste of money.
"Detriments are pointless waste of money." 🤔
Thank you for your input. It will be given all the consideration it deserves. Also here is some data that is not useless: Invest in a dictionary. You can look up "detriments."
Invest in a dictionary
I know the definition, but sure ...
det·ri·ment
noun
the state of being harmed or damaged.
in this case damage to your wallet, and harming your financial health.
