If you're around a walmart that has a tire and lube in it, They do the exact same process, former employee so I know mine at least did it. It was a 2 part system though, this one was stuff that went in the gas AND the direct concentrated injection.

i will not EVER let Walmart do anything else to my vehicles. Not even an oil change. Last time they did an oil change they stripped out the drain plug and refused to claim any responsibility for the damage or replace what they clearly broke. Had to replace the entire oil pan on a 2000 4L v6 which is apparently a hard to find item. I couldnt find one the proper fit anywhere near here. had to order one to be shipped in from a scrap yard in Florida. Walmart will NEVER touch another vehicle of mine

I have super vision sir. I did see a vageen. Lol. Nah, just a figure of speech we got down here. I call my truck a "she" or "her" but she's an "it" and there's nothing to change that. So I will correct myself for the perfectionists out there. 'HE' came across the other lane right into mine.

Flushed out the radiator. Many years of water was not good to it. It was doo doo brown. Now it's nice a neon yellow. Did find out peak long life coolant taste absolutely terrible
