>I have a 98 NAS Disco V8 and have been considering adding, at the next oil change, one of the various types of oil additives on the market. They all seem so enticing with their almost miraculous claims. I know that the manual specifically recommends against this, but I wanted some real world info. The questions:
a) Does anybody here use them?
b) Should they be used?
c) Are they worthwhile or any good?
d) Are they bad for the vehicle?
e) If you use them do you proportionaly reduce the amount of oil used at the oil change by the amount of the additive being used?
f) Which brands?
Thank you in advance for all your help!
William

PS I use Mobil 1 oil - does this have any bearing on the above?
