Hey all!
I was wondering if oil additives actually do what they say on the tin?
http://www.sfrcorp.com/ looks good so I was thinking of getting some, if it wasn't too expensive and if it really does help protect the metal parts like it says.
Thanks,
Michael

My opinion on oil additives is and always was the same , use a very good oil with the correct spec for your car and change it regularly ( I also don't agree with 'long life' oils ) you won't need any additive . major oil companies spend mega $$$$ on research with engine manufacturers and if additives were needed they would be included in blending processes . my advice don't waste your money .
