[QUOTE="D Perry, post: 934432, member: 57755"] I don't know the OP nor his Uncle but after researching a lot myself over the years and talking to many top mechanics that I know from the racing world as well as private shop owners who I absolutely trust, I agree with the OP's Uncle. Most of the additives do much less than they claim and by the time people think they need to use them the problems have already started and the products actually add to the problems as they break down or get used up before they can actually produce long term results. Good fuel and regular oil changes (synthetic or conventional) from the day the vehicle is new will go a long way in extending the life of an engine. The 3000 mile misnomer is just a marketing scare tactic used to increase sales for the slimy quick lube places and also most of the brand name oil manufacturers. Thanks for posting your Uncle's comments, Eddie. Good reading. [/QUOTE]
