New here , yet have read many posts.
I see some posts about all additives as "snake oil"
I see some posts from years ago about formulas changing.
I ought a new Dodge Caravan (4 cyl) in 1998 and the dealer sold me an oil additive package. Has 170K on now and I have used BG EPR 109 and STP manifold cleaner on it. I put in Costco 5 W-30 synthetic oil
In 2017 I bought a new Kia Sorento (4 cyl) GDI and the manual indicates using a gas additive. Also the dealer used BG additives to clean out top end at 30 k and 50 k miles
The Kia dealer recently went to Petron Plus instead of BG.
The Kia had a recent unsuccessful piston soak that did not take care of the 2 qts per 1K miles (at 67K miles). I am in process of getting a new engine. I had constant 5k oil changes at dealer. I use top tier gas
How do I take care of this new engine? What "snake oil" do I use now.....Archoil 9100, Petron Plus, DT 550..??
I see many YouTubes of all sorts of additives but some/many are several years old
I see where Archoil even changed from zinc to Potassium Borate.
I know some will say just put in Amsoil or Pennzoil Ultra Platinum and nothing else. But this is a GDI monster.
