BG44K Works!

2014 ML350 4matic with 89,000 miles. I do a 50/50 mix of city and highway daily summertime driving. Always full load with two car seats and double stroller. Over the 2 years I’ve had the ML I’ve averaged between 17 and 18 mpg 370-380 miles on full tank before gas light comes on. 19 mpg on those rare tanks I’ve done a lot of highway and babies the gas pedal.

Anyhow, just got front rotors and pads changed and my Indy dumped in a can of BG44K on a 1/4 tank. I filled it back up to 1/2 a tank. I immediately felt a nice improvement in engine response. Truck is much peppier. What I didn’t expect was the nice jump in gas mileage! After I filled up same driving habits and running AC, I got 21.13 mpg on this past tank and drove 442 miles before the light came on! I’m a happy camper.

Amazon Amazon

Next oil change that’s due in 3k miles I think I will add the BG oil additive which also promises improvements as well.
