Oil additives...Snake oil?

This is a great completely unbiased, realistic article that says it all!

I didn't know DuPoint took those companies to court. I wish this could be a sticky.

What about putting it on your web site?

Best quote in regards to those Valvoline standard oil additives.

"Changing or adding to this formula can upset the
balance and negate the protective effect the formula was meant to
achieve, even if you are only adding more of something that was
already included in the initial package.
If it helps, try to think of your oil like a cake recipe. Just
because the original recipe calls for two eggs (which makes for a
very moist and tasty cake), do you think adding four more eggs is
going to make the cake better? Of course not."

It's in work

Awesome article....I am much more educated regarding these products. i must admit I have speant endless $$$$ on additives, and honestly thought I was doing a good thing. From now on I will stick to quality oil top filter and regular changing.
thanks for the info...

Many of us had. I feel bad for the ones that still do. Isn't Knowledge and reality is a beautiful thing?
