Default Oil additive.

Does anyone use any oil additive as a preventative measure?

My dad uses this engine restore stuff in some of his high mileage stuff every oil change.

My car only has 50k on it but I figured I'd check before I ran to the auto zone to get some tire shine.

haha.


Thanks!

Default Unnecessary IMO in a freshly maintained TT. If you get to smoking under load ALL the time....

you might go cheap and do "additives" instead of a ring job. But a "kompressed" engine needs good compression all the time. Proper oil maintenance is sufficient until the consumption/burnoff rate requires intervention.
