the old guy i brought the car off said he's been using it for ages..
just trying to get ct's opinion
do a search for "snake oil" on google.
should answer your questions.
but ill sum it up for you. buy a good oil to begin with and you don't need additives, if they did anything, manufacturers would put them in the oil to begin with.
Sorry to dig an old thread, but this may be of interest...

not true. they have taken a lot of the good additives out of the oils now because of EPA.
true one of the main ingredients that has been reduced is Phosphorus which gives good protection, but effects cat convertor life.
if you want an oil that has this, look towards diesel engine oils with an older CJ rating as they typically have higher Phosphorus and Sulfar levels due to no cats, they will now though with later CJ ratings which will need to be dropped for diesel engines using DPF's
but i don't think additives are the answer to reduced levels of some content, which may have been used in older oil API rating.
at the end of the day if you buy a good PAO based synthetic (real synthetic not group 3 based oils) you are going to have very very high protection levels, which no off the shelf additive would be able to improve. IMHO
