Additives ...

Looking for some opinions on engine additives .. does anyone use any? What and how often. Wondering about stuff like injector cleaners, oil treatments, sea foam .. that type of stuff. Would love to hear what you guys think.

That's why I posted the link for you - It covers injectors and it's actually a very good post. Read it ..

Oil additives - DO NOT put anything in the crankcase but engine oil. Synthetic 50/50 worked great for me . You don't need additives in the engine oil - what you need is included already in all the major suppliers products. Adding to it can have adverse effects..It's otherwise known as "Snake Oil".
