Early in this thread there were some posts that stated that 2 treatments during an OCI of 3K miles was done. That is the longest that I've read on the MB.
Trav or Dermapaint will correct me if I'm wrong.

It can be used that way. IIRC they state to do so, I don't have any in front of me though. They suggest adding a pint to start, then top up with Kreen as it flashes off not to exceed 1 qt during the OCI. Trav and I were just talking about this yesterday. Just be sure the sump is at least 5-7 qts. Increase or decrease the ratio of Kreen to oil based on that.
If it wasn't 3:20 in the morning I'd go out to the garage and grab a can and read it for sure. I'm pretty sure the info above is pretty accurate. Three ounces of Kreen per qt of oil is a good start. You can top up as needed not exceeding a qt during the interval. If that frightens anyone, use 3 ounces/qt of oil for 1000 miles, or a pint in a 5-7 qt sump. Alternate plan for the hesitant: If you plan on running it for a full OCI you can always mix Kreen 50/50 with your top up oil, after the pint has been added. Don't exceed a qt of Kreen per OCI. JMO
