The skinny on engine oil additives.....

[poltr1]

I have a car with a lot of miles on it. I want to improve my fuel economy and protect my investment by prolonging my engine's life. There are plenty of engine oil additives out there on the market. Some work, some don't. Which ones should I consider and which ones should I avoid?

Right now, my current front-runners are Prolong and Restore.

While doing some research online, I came across this page on carbibles.com regarding additives. They didn't have a lot of good things to say about additives, and many of them have been investigated by the FTC for false claims.

So....if you've used an engine oil additive, what are your experiences?

I don't use an additive in my Accord hybrid, but I heard about this one on the Ed Schultz show on Air America:
