Fluid Additives

Have you done so much to the car today that it just doesn't fit into one section, or are you too damn lazy to split it all up? Either way, this is the section for you.

Some have their uses, but none really live up to all that they claim. Do you have any specifics that you are wanting to know about?

Most of those oil additives will just separate you from your hard earned money.
