dont put anything in your engine accept fuel and oil
i have already learned the hard way twice with 2 diff cars 1st was my 93 jimmy i put restore in it and it startted smoking bad after that all the time and burnt oil like crazy and it never did that before, second on my rx-7 i put fuel injection cleaner in my tank and ran a emissions cleaner on it and now it stalls out every time i start it cold and stalls all the time when i slow down like at a light. best thing to do is just keep up the maintnece and you will have no problem. also that marvel mistory oil is good because it is mixing oil with your gas to better lubricate your engine and at the same times keeps it cleaner so hear it from me dont put anything that wasnt originaly intended to be in your engine in your engine i learnd twice the hard way and i will never again

I usally fill up at chevron and all there gas has techron it in it...but about adding additives to oil, I'm not totally sure but I doubt it would benifit anything, maybe even hurt you unless you have the OMP disconnected, but I have never used an oil additives, fuel additives are a must to keep our 12+ year old injectors clean!!!

I've read a huge article about zmax, and it basicly said that the company and their products are 100% fraud. dont put it in your car, it's just some colored liquid!

Miracle additive that costs $30 bux and adds 15% HP and 20% increase in Fuel Econonomy? Think about that: Why would the major automakers spend MILLIONS and MILLIONS in Engineering and design to improve their CAFE numbers and reduce Emissions?
Their are no Miracle additives!

Most of them are just fine, my two fav's are Marvel mystery oil and techron injector cleaner
i never used any in my FC
but in my ATV i put all kinda of that stuff becuase its always running like ****, so alittle bit of marvel mystery oil and its fixed.
when i first got my car the guy said he put some STP stuff in there to clean the fuel injectors and it smoked like crazy untill i ran the tank to empty and put some fresh fuel.
