I understand what many of you say about additives being snake oils, and that may be true. I run a lot of miles in my Chevy 3/4 Van, about 175,000/yr. With those kind of miles I want to do all I can to keep wear on internal parts down, so I use Lucas. I have a friend that races cars, so he tears motors down often and says he can see a difference inside his engines from using Lucas, slick all over.
