Wondering whether anyone has used this product before?

Here are some comments from a DC5R in the UK which recently used this pröduct.
Many of you will know there was a group buy of the J's Racing Oil Smoother supplied by Jono at RE Spirit. I had bought a bottle because I had already tried this at the JRM/Sumo Power day last year. Mr Murikami kindly let me, Porthos, Claire (J's S2000) and Jono have a sample to put in our cars and see how it felt. I think we all felt a bit dubious if not unsure about putting Titanium balls into our engines but we were assured by Mr Murikami and his interpreter that it would be ok. Happy to report all cars are still running!
So, after an oil change (engine, gearbox) I thought it would be a good idea to try this product out on fresh oil and report back whether its worth the money or more importantly to most people, is it safe?
Ok so my car is;
2002 ITR
98687 miles
Used daily on a mixture of roads
Engine oil is Fuchs Pro S changed 10/03/2013
Hamp filter
Running Ad08's and standard wheels
New gearbox oil
Brakes are free from binding
The reason why I mention the gearbox oil, tyres, wheels and brakes is that on the open road these will all factor in what you feel overall in the car. Almost everyone will have a slightly different setup and so could feel differences no one else could. Dyno's are great for outputs but Mr Murikami wanted to know how the car felt after putting the oil smoother in on an open road.
First thing I noticed was how quiet the engine was. Now my tappets were done about 25K ago so perhaps need doing but it made a difference.
Coasting is improved/ engine breaking is reduced
Smoother idle
Slight torque improvement
Overall power delivery is smoother
Now I know what your thinking, Placebo. But no. This product does work. It's not a miracle powder (you have to pay a lot more than £40 for that!!) but it does do what J's Racing claim, which is good enough for me. Ok, price is a bit steep but if more people buy it then hopefully prices will come down.
I will let you know how I get on with this over the next month. See if I still get the same results. I have yet to find out if MPG has improved as I only put it in yesterday but my guess is yes, marginally.
