See post #4...It will clean the carbon off your rings, and will likely fix your oil burning issue. It will also completely de-sludge your engine.

This of course assumes your CCV is fresh and not failed.
The instructions are printed and nicely recorded in my X5 notebook. I may skip doing the procedure this time around. Letting it idle for half a day makes me nervous. After a coolant pipe update, I won't be so nervous.

An E70 passed me up the other day. He noticed my X5 and I noticed his. Hope his a/c works. It was warm and all the windows were down. I won't complain about mine smoking from a dead stop. Or a full WOT burst of speed. The E70 let a puff of smoke on every gear shift!
