How many treatments? Depends.

Change out the filters by sight, when the primary gets dirty, change it. If you're careful, there is minimal fuel spillage.

The 85's have a different rear gear, making for better mpg. The blue flying saucer helps with transmission shifting.
Thank you!

Well then, I will just keep at it. Obviously one treatment doesn't do it.

I have super clear filters from non-O.E.M. I am going to try. So far the opaque plastic isn't doing it for me... Yep, finally learned how to be careful.

Yep, those are also my favorites! Plus, the California oxidizer so less particulates out the exhaust. Though does make the turbocharger have to be clocked and very expensive air filter. But only need changing every 30,000 miles, so means three years for me.
