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? In my opinion, additives are like snake oil. If you think they are working, good for you. I'm more a "show me the beef" type of person, though.

Teflon additives, anyone? Give me a break! That's the biggest joke out there. It has been shown that teflon will not adhere to metal unless you use a special bonding process, at extremely high temperatures. And if teflon is so rugged, why do you need to use special cooking utensils when frying in a teflon pan? It simply scratches off too easily. Yet there are additive companies out there that will tell you that you get this "miracle bond" that will protect your engine parts forever.
