I have been contemplating topping off with some MMO shortly before my next oil change. My concern was it would clean too well and dislodge some heavier particulates, but if it does in fact slowly dissolve the solids I would feel much more at ease adding some to the oil.
MMO is slow, but it's a faster cleaner than oil alone in my experience. A nice compromise. It is thin however, you need to compensate for that on the front end when you choose your oil if you're going to use it in any quantity, small amounts no problem. I believe mixes of 10-15% are about ideal.
In a 4.5-5 oil pan 1/2 of the small bottle is more than enough for a 20 mi til oil change clean. it is not too much nor is it too little.
Also, as the v8 you have is an older design, like my 3.0 V6, just use plain dino oil as it is not a high performance engine, only reason i went with QSUD was to see how well the engine liked it, and to see how dirty it would become with that oil after doing MMO. it was an experiment, after 1,000 mi on the prior dino it was almost black, now it is still golden. I feel comfortable doing 5k on a good dino with this engine now.
