nag aadditives ka!?what do you use!?

i only used the flush ones...i dont believe na kailangan sila...ang sabi sakin dati ng mekaniko ko na nag ooil change..pag shifting from synthetic-normal or v.versa ka lang daw kailangan mag flush.....but if same oil..no need daw...so thats what i am doing.

i dont flush engine and dont use oil additives as this can affect chemical composition of oil. Just use a good oil.

Don't use engine flushes or additives. At the worst case, its chemical composition will not be compatible with your engine, seals, and oil. At best case, its value is questionable.

Use your "savings" in buying the best oil you can afford instead.
