I always had a tough time throwing snake oil additives into my engine. I say change your oil regularly and stick with top tier gasolines as the additives they provide should be sufficient in keeping your engine running smoothly.

Agreed, stick with regular OCI's and stay away from additives. I've never been a fan of them. Especially that crap they sell to fix leaks in your cooling and A/C systems. Barf.

It work well with my 240 but this aint the same . Not a good choice to do with the G. I do my oil change every 3000mi. Using full syn. 0w30 so it runs cool. Just thought a microlube would help but your right about additives with these motors aint a good idea. Thanks for the input ill stick with full syn oil only.

This makes me so sad. I was watching "All Girls Garage" on the Velocity channel and they were pimping this product out...I would drink Cristy Lee's bathwater, and buy just about anything she was peddling...HOWEVER, did some research:
