[QUOTE="Bhollier, post: 1604886, member: 26220"] I can help you with this since I have a formula for a real oil additive that is not just a conditioner, but an additive formulated for turbo vehicles (race cars). My first question would be how many miles do you have on your Raptor and why is he wanting to run an additive. The additives on the market are supposed to increase lubricity, however from our testing of the majority of them offer little advantage over a full synthetic oil. The only way I would run any additives is if you have sludge build up, which would be unlikely in a newer vehicle. You also need to be careful since some of those additives can damage the piston rings if they do not have the proper moly additive that protects the rings. Any shift in the oil pH can cause ring damage and internal corrosion. [/QUOTE]
