I've tamed down to only a handful of additives and most are something that won't be found at many places. This forum got me away from the thick oil stabilizer, marvel,stp,etc.

Which one do you recommend?
None just use a good oil ...
I am using a mineral oil (15w40) with an additive. I don't recommend anything. I am running an old Buick V8 from 69. When you're driving a new vehicle just use the recommended viscosity and oil. In a break-in period never use an additive. The most newer hybrid engines are junk so be careful. Just use your own common sense. I read comments it is often a one way street here when an additive is mentioned. I have my own experience as proof that it works. I am in Europe by the way.

If I remember correctly it was Stoopid thick oil with detergent and it wasn't a lot of detergent, like 2,200ppm.Originally Posted by Malo83
All you need.
Loved it when someone did a VOA on this glop.
And TY Mola for making me smarter about oil !
It's true
If you post objective and technical information, you might get further.
Technical information? For those who need it sure
We are all ears I’m willing to learn this wealth of knowledge you hold.
That's not what i meant. I meant in general. If one asks for it than advise
You don’t happen to sell any of these additives, do you?
No. Only been using an additive for about 25 years with the VERY DANGEROUS Chlorinated Olefin in it
Why would you do that?
Because of the advantages it adds to the mineral oil
Well, you’re going to have to explain to us what those advantages are. Right now in this thread all I’ve read that’s credible is that they are harmful.
They are not in my additive. Period. How could i have been using it for this long?
Well that’s good.
I am running it in an old engine (1969) and also in a 1997 VW 4 cylinder for many many years. The VW runs on LPG

So you have torn down the engine and have done ring and bearing measurements and microscopy and your results are null?
