This company is selling an additive/conditioner that you add to your engine oil after each oil change and after each fill up in you gas tank. Have any members here heard of this product and even tried it? Does anyone know if this product would work in our Maximas?

Don't worry the site is virus free...I've checked it out....

The product is interesting.

I talked to my mechanic about gasoline additives and he just rolled his eyes. "If it sounds too good to be true - it probably is."

Back in the day when my brother used to work at a Shell station, I would pull up and he'd let me grab a free bottle of STP gas treatment, I'd pour it in my tank and he would take the empty bottle and fill it back up with gasoline and put it back on the display!

My soon to be father-in-law uses Force with the gas. It is very pricey. He has seen the predictable drop in mpg as it cleaned out his Sub Tribeca and G35 sedan. They are currently seeing much improved mpg compared to prior starting it.

I am doing Techron 3000 miles apart twice, then just before each oil change every 7500. I also did Lucas Safeguard since I'm concerned with ethanol, will finish my other bottles in the winter.
Besides the occasional Techron I will add a little Marvel Mystery Oil (MMO)each gas fill. I'm not going to use it with oil since I believe Mobil 1 is more than sufficent.
I never wanted to use additives, but seeing his results with Force (too pricey for me) and reading up on bobistheoilguy forums I am now. Especially since Advance had BOGO for Techron and using 40% online codes the MMO is super cheap.

Hoping it quiets my engine some and will report in a month or 2.

Two words snake oil. Ive ran hundreds of thousands of miles w different cars and a motorcycle. All I use isshell rotella t.....no additives no issues. When I had my contour svt, I did take the upper intake and clean it w berrymans chemtool....but other than that routine maintenance.

Unless you have an issue with the car, additives are marketing gimmick and a waste of money. Gasoline and oils already have all the correct additives to protect the engine. I ran several cars over 200,000 miles with normal oil changes and had no problems. The only time I used a gasoline additive is when I stored my car for a few months in the winter.
