Yup, mostly an oil additives will just make your oil thicker. If your oil is too thick, it wont get in between the piston and the walls, thus will lead you to a lack of lubrication. If your engine is good, you shouldnt need that. If it isnt good, all additives are, are bandainds for your true problem. Just keep up with your routine meinteneance, and you should be fine.

shhhh, dont go tellin people my secreat. lol. I know a guy who used to rebuild engines, and he did a comparason with engines that used diffrent oils, Valvoline ended up being the cleanest. But i have used it befor I knew about that, and as a bonus its made in the us.

neither, use seafoam as directed. put it in the oil and drive it for 1 day, then change the oil. i know it does help doing it this way, at least it did my my street bike so prob a car too.
