At the risk of sounding like a bitter old curmudgeon, I will say that all additives going back through slick 50, and teflon to STP and beyond are a waste of money. They are promoted by the best snake oil salesmen money can buy, to gullible saps usually spending some one elses money not their own. They all have scores of statistics from large fleet users, usually government bureacracies and prestadigess demonstrations to support wild claims of miraculous results for everything from mileage to engine wear. Nearly all the additives they promote are already in every quart of oil you buy. I apologize if I've offended any one with my rant, but that's the way I see it from over 40 years of listening and observing in garages and shops. Put the additives in the same folder with the 100 mpg carburetor that is suppressed by the oil companies and the 8 outer electrode Fire Injector spark plugs. Y'all have good one, Dale
