Change the oil first then add the Rev-x and run it until the next oil change. Some people add it every change but I know people that have run for a year or longer without having to "retreat".

Change your oil first, then put the Rev-X in with fresh clean oil. You run it until your next scheduled oil change. Some will continue to add 1 or 2 bottles for each oil change, when I was using it, it was for the winter only to help with cold starts.
