I agree. It's all an attempt to get you to part with your money. Same as gas additives. They do absolutely nothing. Oil co.'s spend trillions of dollars on research and testing. Don't you think that if there was something to give them an edge on the competition, they'd already be putting it in their product.

Rick, Regarding your comment about Mobile1, if it's so terrible why is it the only approved oil for some of the most powerful (and warranted) engines in the world (including the Corvette)?
