[DML] Re: engine additives

I'll second this. All of the additives that are supposed to make a car last
longer, or the oil more slippery are snake oil.

There are some additives that will keep an engine that is on it's last legs
on the road a bit longer. These are OK in the sense that they do what they
advertise, but DON'T use them in an engine that is in good condition. Just
changing the oil and the filter regularly will do your engine the most good.
