Has anyone ever used it in their oil when doing an oil change. I was wondering what benifit it would have. Do you use a quart of it to replace a quart of oil?
Thanks in advance

Works fine for me. I've never used a whole quart of it though. 1/4 to 1/2 a quart is all I've used at a time. Seemed to make winter starts a little easier with less valve train noise on startup. I'd like to think it keeps the engine a little cleaner as they claim too. :)

On their website they said to use one quart to replace a quart of oil. I would like someone to verify or back that up before I do it and something goes wrong.

Why do you feel the need to add anything your oil? Has your motor been poorly maintained?

Under normal conditions, if you're using a quality oil and your motor has been properly maintained you shouldn't need any additives...

If you're using a blend such as OEM Motorcraft or a full synthetic such as Mobil 1 or one of the other top brands IMO you're just wasting money on additives.

I use 8 oz's of sea foam 100 miles before oil change, engine feels more responsive. I am just guessing but even the best oil I tink over time needs alittle cleaning agent added.

Ummm, I think you're right on this one.

Following routine oil and filter change schedules with good quality components is all your engine's going to need.
