There is a YouTube channel I think it is Chris fix. He does not do anything scientific but he uses a inspection camera before and after using fuel treatment on various engines and products. The most successful one is sea foam through the vacuum port. Most of the others either do nothing or just move the carbon around in the combustion chamber.

Save your money and don't buy
Modern synthetic oils are awesome compared to the older dino oils. There are a lot of valid and reliable comparative tests that validate that. Mobil 1 5W-30 Extended Performance for me with a change interval of 5K, 1 year or when oil % meter says it is time and a premium filter.
I ran a Mercury Ultra 190K on it and it did not use any oil between changes and was as quiet as a sewing machine.

Can't really imagine how an oil additive can clean combustion chambers.
There is a chemical or maybe should call it a substance that will clean combustion chambers. H2O
Water injection systems do a nice job of keeping the chambers clean.

If there was such an additive for the oil to clean those parts the engine would sure have to burn a lot to do anything wouldn't it? Then we have another problem
