I found it took about 1/4 of a tank to start doing whatever it is supposed to be doing internally, then the engine, a toyota 2H, Mercedes 300GD and my 2.8 Td patrol all 'seemed' to have less of a 'clack' or the pitch had softened a bit. For me, it makes the engine run quieter. I have only got 400 Kilometers on the new chev, so can't really tell on this motor - its still too new and sounds are all different. Regards cost, yes any additive starts to add the cost/klm. I do run Moreys fuel additive which is a less smoke formulation, again unsure if there is a benefit yet on this engine, but on the 2.8TD that thing running Moreys and 2 stroke was just about smokeless and for an overweight 2.8 it went well and was pushed hard at times on the open road. Even under hard acceleration there was no visible 'plume' behind.
