I don't know why or how it works, it just does. We had a chipper that was running like *s-word, the mechanic dumped in some sea foam and that thing smoked like a freight train for about 15 minutes and it ran like a champ after that.
Chevron Techron at WalMart works as well and is alil cheaper

so warranty said just give them a new blower. It was 13 months old and within the 2 year warranty. Oh yeah but I didn't mention is that the customer said he always used good oil but this time he used gas station mix.

I suspect something other than oil
