ok well if you shouldn't really unless the additive is going to do something the oil can't. the oil already has stuff in it to help out the motor. so i would go against it. on the other hand my old buick had leaks in the engine so i used oil additive to stop that. so if you need it go ahead.

There are only 2, IMO, that you should trust and use.

LC and AR-X.

They work and are not snake oil.

lubecontrol.com has the only addatives that many knowledgeable people and tribologists trust.

many products out there either are not doing much, or is just thinning out your oil.
