Default Oil additive

Has anyone tried this stuf before?: Hot Shot's Secret | Lubrication Specialties, Inc.
I cant really find any independent reviews of the stuff. I just bought my truck a couple of month ago and its got 127,000 miles on the odo so I figured it could use a good cleaning to get some gunk out of it. Just wondered if anyone here has had any issues good or bad with it.

Use Rev-X.

REV-X Oil Additive | Diesel Fuel Additive | High Performance Oil

It doesn't foam up like Lucas does (ever run one of those Checker Auto counter displays really fast for about 2 minutes??).

Dont put any oil additive in the oil. Especially if you are not having problems.

The only oil additive I would use is Rev-x and I only use it when needed.

Any of the decent diesel rated oils ( Motorcraft, Delo, Rotella, Valvoline) to name a few have the additives in the oil. No need to use any additives in my opinion.

It was a joke directed towards the common problem of sticking spool valves on 6.0l injectors. Rev-x fixes this for a while
