Oil Additives....

Hey guys any1 using oil Additives?
I have tried Lucas b4 and it's OK in the summer but in the Winter it makes the car act weird. ( Hard starts, idle problems etc )
I heard good things about Torco ZEP and I just found out about ZDDPlus.

Heres the link : ZDD Plus Oil Additive Saves Engines

ZDDPlus is like 7x more additives then Torco Zep.

I personally swear by Leading Edge Oil. It's the best oil! But it is so HARD to find these days. My good experience with Spraying a D series about 20 bottles of Nitrous in the course of one summer, in my opinion could not have happened if I used any other oil. Top engine builders in the U.S. have used this oil and kept it a SECRET .

Anyways Im running Quaker State oil and Hamp Oil Filters.
Quaker state is the best (non-synt) oil on the market.

Also people please do not use FRAM oil filters.

#1 Hamp
#2 Honda
#3 Quaker State or Bosch

And here is an interesting link :

Oil Additives

So let me know whos using additives

I am using Proma Metal based lubricant. Supposed to lengthen engine part life and I have seen a visual demonstration where it made lucas like like a piece of ****

Found out about it through a vendor who comes to auto mechanic schools. Its good for just about anything except LSD trannies
The lubricatn is attracted to heat and friction
