The thing I always wondered is that oil is basically to protect n lube parts of the engine. but the moment it becomes a stop gap measure for worn piston rings n other things, would it still do its basic job as well? If an engine is worn due various parts being used and fatigued, I guess using a stop gap measure would be ideal as opposed to fixing it. But would the additives be ideal for a well performing engine which does not need the additives? i guess these oil debates will never end, but its very interesting to read comments from both sides of the camps. <img src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7" class="smilie smilie--sprite smilie--sprite8" alt=":D" title="Big Grin    :D" loading="lazy" data-shortname=":D" />  :wink:</blockquote>
