Unless you have need of lead in your gas or to alter your octane, I don't run anything in my gas other than what's in it from the pump. Also, we don't run wet intakes anymore with DI, so it's not even like you get the benefit of "cleaning up" your intake runners or valves.

I don't buy in to oil additives these days with all the options out there. Most of us aren't running crazy race engines with lifespans measured in hours.

For most of us, your car's fuel and oiling systems will go their entire lives on proper gas and oil as the manual states.

NO additives. Top tier fuel (Chevron, Shell, Texaco etc.) and top shelf oil (Driven racing oils).

All the best,

Thanks for the input...judging by the lack of response....seems like there is very little of this going on. I just didn't know if there was something out there that would protect the drive train more so than it is.

I have added a bottle of Techron because I don't always buy top tier fuel.

That's about the only think I'd put in my car. It does keep the Fuel level senders clean and likely helps keep the injectors clean as well

Just but the best fuel that you can get, high octane like Shell V-POWER and drive on.

Same... I travel to some small towns where the most top tier anything may be a general store or McDonalds, so I run Aces 4, as a fuel additive over the last decade.

Nothing in the oil though, from BND Automotive.

I use Techron. Surprisingly, Costco fuel is top tier.

Additives

I use stabil, HEET, and RP fuel system cleaner every tank fill up and CRC valve cleaner every 10K on my 2020 2SS.
