Oil Additives... Yes or No???

[Rogerdj_imp]

I am a BIG fan of oil additives like Prolong, Slick 50 or ZMax. I have a 2002 Chevy Tahoe I bought brand new. I drove it off the car lot and directly to the Autozone auto parts store across the street. I bought a bottle of Prolong and put it in immediately. My 2002 Tahoe now has 1 Million miles on it with absolutely 100% no engine problems. This 1 million miles on my engine I believe is directly due to every single time I change the oil, I add a bottle of Prolong.

I just purchased a 2014 CB1100 with 7000 miles on her. She is showroom perfect and runs like a top. The dealer I purchased it from was like a used car dealership and not a true Honda dealership. Very nice sales people, but not sure they are at the top of their game technically. They said they had just changed the oil and filter when I purchased the bike. It came with a K & N filter (which is BAD according to all I have read) and the oil in the window is very dark and was almost a quart overfilled. WHAT !!!

So I decided to order on Amazon the Mobil 1 98JA11 10W-40 Racing 4T Motorcycle Oil for Sport Bikes - 1 Quart (Pack of 6) and a genuine HONDA 15410-MFJ-D01 oil filter. I also ordered a bottle of Prolong Super Lubricants PSL11000 Engine Treatment - 12 oz.

I am going to change the oil and filter tomorrow as per Scottys excellent video instructions and then add 1/2 or 6 oz. of the Prolong along with the Mobil 1 4T oil to the proper level.

What are you opinions and suggestions please. Thank you in advance for your advise. Much appreciated.

My opinion, forget the additives , buy a brand name synthetic or semi synthetic oil, change the oil and filter at half the recommended distances frequency will be a lot more beneficial. Don't be afraid of after market filters like the Hi Flow ones either, remember Honda and other manufacturers don't make oil filters they buy off a dedicated manufacturer and have it with the brand name on it, for twice the price!
