this is what their website says:

"quote: XADO® Revitalizant gel for PETROL Engines - (set of 3 blisters) normally: $183.95, on special: $175.95



Click to enlarge

XADO® Revitalizant for petrol engines of any models of automobiles.
Set of three (3) blisters.
For engines with 2-10l of oil system

For engines with bigger oil system capacity additional set(s) may be required.
Product is certified.

Repairs and protects any modification of petrol engines during regular operation. Restores engine power and reduces exhaust emissions. Saves fuel.


Included in the box:
- Three 9ml gel tubes;
- may include volumized XADO® stickers or other promotional materials.

Procedure of treating an engine with lubricant capacity of 2 to 10 litres (3 tubes).
IMPORTANT! The full treatment means three stage process. You need a set of 3 blisters

Stage 1
Squeeze out the contents of one tube into the lubricant neck of the engine warmed up to the running temperature.
Start the engine and let it idle for no less than 2 minutes.
Stage 2
Do as described in Phase 1 after a running of 60 to 150 miles (100–250 km).
Stage 3
Do as described in Phase 2 after a running of 60 to 150 miles (100–250 km).
Revitalization is considered complete at a mileage of no less than 930 miles (1,500 km).
Note!
DO NOT CHANGE the oil until treatment has been completed!
It is possible to treat at idle: 4 hours are equivalent to a running of 120 miles (200 km).
Treat new engines with one dose: two tubes simultaneously.

Major results of the treatment
rubbing parts are reconditioned and protected against wear;
restored geometry of the parts;
fuel savings at idle up to 30%;
oil pressure increasing;
equalizing and increasing of compression in the cylinders;
engine power approaches up to 100%;
reduction of noise and vibration by 10 times;
possibility of operation (up to 187 miles (300 km)) after an accidental oil leakage;
reduction in CO and CH contents in the exhausts by 2-10 times.
Main advantages of the treatment
disassembly of engine is not required;
improvement of engine work as early as in 31-62 miles (50-100 km).
Recommendations
Effectiveness and engine working ability mainly depend not only from the condition of an engine itself, but from many other factors, processes and mechanisms which accompany, participate in and influence its work. For instance, a high consumption of oil could be a result not only of considerable wear of engine parts, but of a untightness of pads, a wear of glands, sticking of rings in the cylinder. That is why while taking a decision to treat your engine you should first of all draw your attention to both typical signs of the wear and general symptoms. For instance:

low-pitched dead sound in the lower part of the crank case grows noticeably while the crank-case increases its rotational speed (the wear of main bearings);

rhythmical sonorous metallic sound rises while the load increases (the wear of conrod bearing);

engine overheating;

exhaust silencer smokes;

loss of power;

high consumption of fuel;

decreased pressure and increased oil consumption;

high vibration and noise.

The treatment of new and normally working engines is considered opportune and effective. Accumulated experience of XADO application is an evidence of as early as possible necessity of prophylactic treatment of such engines. At that new parts become run-in and those with a small wear are quickly reconditioned. Due to an unusually low friction coefficient of a protecting coating being formed internal loads on engine parts decrease, and this fact makes their service life considerably longer. And then if some troubles take place you should look for their causes on “the surface”: a carburetor, an ignition system, fuel quality.

XADO dosage is defined by oil system capacity, which in its turn is proportional to the area of friction pairs.

Warranty
The Manufacturer guarantees the durability of protecting coating during 1 year at any mileage."

what about bardahl engine protection, they treated the engine dropped the sump plug, then drove it x amount of kilometers still running perfectly at the end, stripped the engine down all still good.......there must be some out there that actually work????? although i havent heard this crowd advertising for a long time.
