Frustrating, but it falls in line with what ive seen said here, fuel additive always, oil additive never. Im actually using that brands fuel additive currently, and it cut my winter crank time in half, of course, the anti gel may be the only thing about it that actually does anything, i have no way to gauge the other claims.

I used to run marvel in my oil, until i fell into a thread heavily with @Sous Jason, and several others, that very clearly (for me) showed i never need an oil additive in these trucks, ever. That same thread just as clearly showed that fuel additive was a good idea, hss wasnt the top choice there, but it wasnt the bottom, either. I use hss, or, i believe standyne? As my preffered fuel sauce. Howes only if its the only choice. Stuff always seems to lose its lid and coat half my toolbox.

Their fuel additives are good and their synthetic motor oils are probably good too, just a rip off even compared to Amsoil.
