Install engine oil supplement? So dealers are now hawking snake oil too, even when the owner manual discourages using such unnecessary additives?

Expensive oil change plus they are replacing the money from your pocket to their. Less money in your wallet, less weight in the car, therefore better gas mileage. Do they kiss you also after all of that or just lite up cigarette .
