if you get the right stuff to begin with, you'll never need any additives at all. For me, this means mobil-one oil, BP premium gas, saab original coolant(MB coolant will be nxt due to popular acclaim) Pure-One or Mann oil filters.
if you havent been using what you should, oh say fram oil filters with some generic oil for 75cents a quart in a beige bottle with no label, THEN you might wanna look at some additives. My first and most recent job(im 18) i spent 10mos in an oil change "quick lube" facility. I really gained alot of experiance there, we had all kinds of additives to sell there, fuel injection cleaners, oil system flushers, ect.
i didnt like doing any of it to cars, but if the customer wanted we would pour kerosene with a fancy name into the crankcase and run it for 15 min, then when after that when i drained it the oil came out with huge deposits and chunks of trash in it. if your motor is this dirty i'd recomend leaving the crap where it is and changing the oil on time, rather than breaking it loose to have its way with the engine. the fuel inj cleaner was god awful too, hooking the stuff up to the intake and watching it send grey black smoke ENTIRELY everywhere out the tailpipe, listening to the motor sputter and caugh, only to run the same afterwards......no thanks....
we were a valvoline franchise by the way.... the oil turned to Mrs butterworth syrup after 3k miles..... not a fan
new management did some things is disagree'd with so i no longer work there.
