There you go... that's the power of this stuff, you didn't even have to
use it, you simply buy it, which makes it more of a service than a
product. Now you can see that it is actually a product from the dark
side created to drive faith-based VW shops like Healing Hands and
others so recently discussed out of business. Another giveway of its
evilness is that it comes in a red bottle with satanic-looking
lettering.

If it would make you feel less superstitious, you can drain a quart of
your oil and replace it with MMO, which spelled backwards is an evil
mantra.
