Should I use additives?

The simple answer is NO!

I have received a number of questions regarding the use of additives such as Prolong or Slick 50. The simple answer is that these type of products are a waste of money and there is the potential for engine damage if used improperly. Today's oils are manufactured using a complex additive package which does not require the use of additional additive products. In the September, 1998 issue of Consumer Reports you will find an article on Prolong. They tested the claim that you can drive a car for more than four hours without oil, thanks to Prolong. The test car lasted 13 minutes before the engine failed!
