well the only additives i've used in my evo has been Lucas Oil fuel additive. stuff worked pretty good at improving my gas mileage and overall smoothness of my engine. i use it once every 2-3 tanks when i remember. i've also used some other stuff in my integra but nothing worth mentioning

Ones I like for fuel are: Seafoam, Redline complete fuel system cleaner, Lucas fuel injector cleaner, and Chevron Techron. Overall there really nothing I like to put in my oil. I may try some of the Lucas engine oil stabilizer but thats probably it.

ive also used some others, but havent really found one that shows that much of a difference, but i use either the techron or lucas every time i fill up after n oil change. also use the lucas oil treatment stuff as well. i havent changed my oil without it so i couldnt tell you what its like without it.

good thread though, im interested to see what others experiences are. Im also curious to see what everyone is using in their radiators, as far as coolant and any additives, as i need to flush and fill my cooling system.

As the oil doc once told me. If the oil you use needs an addidtive then that oil is crap.
