The error in the "treatment" is what broke the engine before the test started. Either he made a huge mistake or someone gave him totally wrong instructions. I've done the treatment myself to multiple of my cars and at no point you are supposed to run the car without oil. You install the first bottle, idle, drive a certain distance, stop the car, drive some more and then replace the oil. You then install the second bottle, idle and drive with the stuff inside the oil until your next oil change.

[@Joes-son]

Worked in the factory that built that unit. This was the first model year of that series to win a Gold Plant award from JD Powers. That particular generation of Camrys was incredibly reliable. This was the first generation of US built powertrain installed in the Camry. The powertrain facility was a clean as the paint shop. Those engines were so incredibly well built. I owned three of them, and they were all great cars. Drove them forever, then bought another. I drove about 60k miles a year, and drove this generation Camry for almost two decades. Quiet, comfortable, dependable and great fuel mileage. No one engineers cars like this anymore, Not even Toyota.
