Just type into google (using TC-W3 in cars) see how many pages and posts from various sources get ready for some long reading LOL

When I first started using it in 2010 there where only a few posts on a couple forums

I still add it to my entire fleet of cars and bikes

Like they say the internet is a great way of communicating ideas

There are some who believe that it works wonders, primarily when attempting to fix things that are not broken.

A friend's grandfather was a railway engineer back in the days when trains were trains. His favourite analogy in similar instances was saying that it was like adding mayonnaise to axle grease. Apparently this doesn't hurt the taste of the grease at all.

As stated above, there is no reason to believe that adding two stroke outboard oil to gasoline in any concentration, never mind 500:1, will 'fix' contaminated gas.

Just to be clear I was just curious and wasn't making a judgement
