I would trust Techron for gasoline and either Auto-RX or Lube Control for oil, but I would avoid most other additives.

Of course, if you use a high-quality premium gasoline like Chevron Supreme or Shell V-Power and a 502.00 synthetic oil, you probably don't need any additives, ever.

i have used seafoam through my vac lines it does a lot of cleening to the internal engine parts. i have also used it in my oil to get rid of sludge build up. but it still doesn't cleen out the injectors.

well, oil doesnt go throught the injectors... so it probally won't.. but if u put in ur fuel, then your fuel injectors will probally get clean...

so i can find seafoam at any autoparts storey eh??

ill do a writeup as soon as its time for another oil change...

do you think that adding it to the oil will effect my turbo? the guy in the writeup did it on a 2.8, but seeing how the oil gets way hotter when its going through the turbo, i dont know if this might compromise the viscosity of the oil if it gets too hot with that seafoam in it
