I doubt it will hurt the engine. It might make you feel better or think you are getting more power. But I don't see where the magic happens in the MSDS BG44K_MSDS. Just petroleum distillates and mineral spirits (also a petroleum distillate).
The glass is not half full, it was engineered with a 2X safety factor.

Are you trying to fix something?  "Stuff in a can" is usually not going to fix a problem, IMHO.  Are you trying to keep the insides of your FJ clean?  Frequent oil changes are the best plan, along with a top notch oil & filter (AmsOil , for instance).  I'd be REALLY careful of additives with a wet clutch.  Our old FJ's are getting to the point where it doesn't take much help to make a clutch slip, (unless you've addressed that issue).  This little bit of "petroleum distillates and mineral spirits (also a petroleum distillate)" might just be the banana peel under the FJ.
