Just buy decent oil and leave it at that.

Oil companies spend lots of money researching their product. I'd trust them.

Just my opinion.

Stick with the well known, reputable brands. If you can get it cheap or if you haven't heard of it then probably not worth buying.

I've got castrol edge in mine ATM. I guess any of the well known brands.
Don't really want to get into the debate, it's pretty pointless.

Well for the amount they charge for some of these additives youd think that they would have to do somthing good for your engine. A one use bottle about 500ml of the additive is the same price as a decent 4L of oil.

most of the additives are out there to make people think they can do something on the cheap and get away with it. e.g, whats easier new rings or a bottle of 'stop smoke'.

then there is slick 50! this sh*t will f*ck your engine.

stick with the goodness of plain oil, change it regualry. respect your car.
