google " bob is the oil guy". you'll probably never use another additive in your life, but if you do, they'll put you onto the good ones which boost zinc and other e.p. additives that epa may have mandated out

If the secret ingredient in these additives is so great, dont you think the big oil companies would already have it in there products? It's kind of how I think about it.

There are government requirements for oil additive "packages" that won't ruin the catalytic converters in auto's & trucks. That's why motorcycle oils are so different and the use of same so important.
