So I'm going to vent a little bit about this.....
What I find to be quite interesting is how if some of the more "knowledgeable or experienced members" on this board had posted a link or reference to the EXACT same thing Tom did, I can guarantee those of you reading this that half of the stupid shit said in this thread would never be posted. Why is that? Because too many people can't look past certain characteristics of Tom to actually be respective and consider to something he is referencing. Sure Tom says some stupid shit sometimes, we all know that, Tom knows that, but my point in general is that it is things like this that end up getting newbies flamed (i.e.: A lot shit on Tuners, Talk, or even the Cyclone Intake thread on here that Mike cleaned up).

The whole point is I highly doubt any knowledgeable or experienced persons would even post anything about oil additives. People that have been into cars for a long have seen millions of these products come along and have found out later that they don't do the things that they advertised. When I was 16-18, I bought every type of chemical additive trying to solve problems that actually would've been cured by the real solution, things like changing plugs regularly and making sure carburetor jets weren't plugged. The only additive I've ever seen that works is the better fuel injector cleaners. Of course taking the injectors out and cleaning them manually is much preferred, but I've seen an obvious improvement in one car that had really dirty injectors.
And for Tom, well, I'd have rode Raptor wayyyyyyyyyyy harder had he suggested that this would actually fix anything.
And BTW, lifter don't have to be replaced necessarily. They can be cleaned very well out of the car. Just make sure to compress them before reinstallation though.
