It says that it already has the LS additive in it, but several parts/service people have said that I may still need to add some. I think they may be right cause I still get a small amout of vibration/chatter when turning tightly on dry pavement. I figure I'll do 1oz at a time until I'm satisfied.
Good to know! I bought the same Valvoline LS 75W-140 and the only other brand I could find was Mobil 1 LS 75W-140. I was contemplating returning the stuff.

Where do you buy the additive, directly from Ford?
