I have no idea what you are referring to, besides, I do not know the OP.
Maybe you can clarify.
You and the OP both wrote of your disdain for oil adds, although your posts were connected by no more than this thread.
I don't think that I implied that you were acquainted.
You have consistently advised against the use of OTS oil additives as a routine measure, since their effects on a fully formulated oil's performance are unknown and unlikely to be positive.
You've also occassionally sanctioned the use of OTS adds in an attempt to address a specific problem, particularly Rislone.
The only oil additive I've ever used is ARX, although I would consider soemthing else if the need arose in one of my engines.
Probably won't, since I use good quality oils on conservative drain intervals.
Anyway, my only point was that you have consistently advised against the routine use of additives to improve oil performance and the OP of this thread said that all additives were snake oil.
I for one do actually read what you post and I also understand and appreciate the level of expertise you bring here.
