I'll go with you on this one, Bill. Any decent oil today is designed with the needed additive packages already engineered into them. I've heard it said that some additive packages can actually be detrimental to the performance of your original oil additive package. Yes, why not just buy a quality motor oil in the first place?

Yet there are additive companies out there that will tell you that you get this "miracle bond" that will protect your engine parts forever.
