I think you getting close with solvency enhancers ,,,along with a Emulsification agent that attacks carbon deposits when heated.??

Is it Synthetic solvency enhancers?

No. It's a novel "something" from what they've said. This doesn't use the traditional polarity method. Whatever it is it seems to dissolve carbon.

It's proprietary to Valvoline.

So is it some kind of solvent but stable and won't evaporate or degrade over 10k miles/1y of usage?

It reminds me of glyphosate unique molecule that is hard to find the homology, unlike agent orange.

Agent Orange contains two active ingredients, 2,4-Dichlorophenoxyacetic acid (2,4-D) and 2,4,5-Trichlorophenoxyacetic acid (2,4,5-T), which other companies can easily modified and still have similar effectiveness.
