IIRC from my MBCA days (daze?), BG44 and Chevron's Techron work the same way. They clean injectors by dissolving any crud as they go past the injector. They are basically dispersants, or thinning agents, and their chemical properties allow them to pass the rings into the oil. This in turn thins the oil and lowers the viscosity.

Hence the recommendation to change the oil shortly after running the tankful through the engine. I think Techron even says that on the bottle.

HTH,

someguy
