Basically, all modern oils are pretty darn good and additives are worthless.

The standard advice given on TBN when someone asks about oil (it seems to happen frequently) is use any oil and the least expensive oil that meets the weight and API classification your Owner's Manual recommends.

It's a mystery to me why oil generates so many questions. /forums/images/graemlins/smile.gif
