If any of that were worth a crap, the OEM's would use it.  Its hard to get much slicker than oil on oil.

I've used BG oil and gas additives for over 20 years.  I work on cars for a living.

The motor oil additive(MOA)  will clean sticky valve lifters and stop them from clacking after the engine warms up.  It will slow down oil smoke from sticking oil control rings also.  You have to keep using it though.  I've had lifter noises come back on my own vehicles that I was monitoring.

The transmission and differential additvie,  multi gear concentrate(MGC) will quiet down a transmission or differntial that has bearing noise.  It will not fix bad parts but if you have a hiss or rumble it will quiet it down.  I had a fwd Dodge Daytona that had a loud rumble in the transaxle that I put one tube in and it fixed it for six months and then had to put in another tube and it quieted down again.  The customer was happy that the car was limped along for almost a year before they got rid of it.

The fuel additive 44K will keep injectors clean and limit carbon buildup on intake valves if you use it every six months or so.  Just put it in when you fill up so it will slowly work while you drive.  It is expensive so don't put in a 1/4 tank and burn it out right away.

BG products are the only additives that I have experience with and believe they work.

I have heard good things about Seafoam products but have no experience with them.

Any additve will not fix a serious problem but can prevent one if used as maintenance.

Don't forget to stabilze the fuel in the boat,  motorcycle,  or lawn equipment.


My .02 cents.
