funceca88 Posted April 26, 2009 Report Share Posted April 26, 2009 my truck has about 42000 miles right now, iwas thinking i should take some extra steps and start ading aditives, you now, like stp, z max.......... do you guys think its even worth it for me to start using them, i use Q horsepower syntec everytime i change my oil (the best btw ), but i feel like maybe stuff like z max would do something good for my engine, you now, extra insurance what do you guys think?

1 Fast SS Posted April 26, 2009 Report Share Posted April 26, 2009 Sea foam is good for the oil, and fuel too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NashSS Posted April 26, 2009 Report Share Posted April 26, 2009 (edited) I personally use Prolong engine treatment and have for a couple years. people may say that additives are a waste of money but I believe otherwise. I use mobil1 every oil change so why not spend a little more and get some improved protection? Heres a interesting video of a engine using prolong without oil and adding a few extra things.

Fireman31 Posted April 26, 2009 Report Share Posted April 26, 2009 The only additive I use is some Sea Foam in my gas tank every 10-15k..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sonickoolten Posted April 26, 2009 Report Share Posted April 26, 2009 um with seamfoam do i add it to my tank...... when its lowo n fuel?? so it burns all of it quicker??? or does it not matter? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NashSS Posted April 26, 2009 Report Share Posted April 26, 2009 add it next time you fill up but instead of filling up maybe just a 1/4 tank and use that then fill it so you get a higher concentration of seafoam in the engine or I guess you could use it when your already running low.
