None. We don’t use other additives like BHA, BHT ,TBHQ, etc. The oil is a pure product expeller pressed from the kukui nut. Oils of Aloha Kukui Nut Oil is expeller pressed. We use no solvents of any kind in the production of the oil. Kukui nuts are fed into a screw press and the oil is literally squeezed out. This process generates a minimum of heat and that helps to protect the oil. After expelling the oil goes through a filter press to remove particulate matter.

Anti-Oxidant - Reduces bulk oil oxidation which helps to prevent engine deposits, sludge, and high temperature thickening Detergents/Dispersants - Help maintain engine cleanliness by suspending sludge and wear particles in the oil, so that they can be rained out during oil change.

Most quality Motor Oils contain all the necessary additives, specifically balanced to afford complete and superior engine protection. The use of over the counter oil additives is not necessary to obtain the protection required by vehicle manufacturers. In fact, supplemental oil additives and engine treatments are not recommended by many car manufacturers - and are specifically recommended against by some (GM, Ford, Honda, etc.)

No. AMSOIL is a solo act. Everything your engine needs for lubrication and protection is in the oil. Additives can upset the oil's precise chemistry, or worse, interact with the oil in unpredictable and harmful ways. Save your money ... and your engine. Skip the additives.

No. They are not necessary and can be harmful. AMSOIL Motor Oils are properly formulated under the strictest quality control to provide superior performance, and do not need any additional additives. Read this article. Top

Additives are used in lubricating oil to change or alter or enhance its properties. Base oil as such cannot be used in most of the present-day lubricating applications. Their properties - like resistance to heat, oxygen, wear etc - have to be increased. This increment is done with the use of these additives. To increase the resistance to oxidation, we add 'antioxidants', to increase resistance to wear, we add 'antiwear additives'

The answer to this question is largely a commercial one. Oil companies are supplying a residual or a waste product at a relatively fair price. Blending of an additive into bulk quantities of fuel oil is both complicated and a costly procedure. Besides, the fuel oil could be destined for a wide variety of uses some of which require additive treatment and some of which do not.

There is a continual debate about what type of oil to put in your car. My own opinion is that, if you use a high-quality motor oil of the correct weight, it doesn’t matter which one you use. Some people advise against putting synthetic oils in VWs or Porsches. There is a myth that they do not dissipate heat as well as conventional "dinosaur" oils. This is untrue—some of them have tested out better than dino oils.

You can add Water Wetter® and it will not cause any problems, but the results will be nominal. Water Wetter® is an excellent product when added to plain water, but when added to antifreeze blends; its effectiveness is reduced significantly Typically, this is due to outdated standardization and also because many OEM’s manufacture and sell an ethylene glycol based product. They want you to buy their stuff.

Modern engine oils and fuels are carefully formulated to offer the best possible performance over a wide range of operating condition. There are occasions where an additive not contained in the oil or fuel will improve performance in one respect or another. However, there are also additives that will cause harm to the system. If aftermarket additives are used they should be thoroughly tested and offer more proof of performance than simple testimonial letters or anecdotal evidence.

You may use SynLube™ Lube-4-Life ? if an aftermarket oil additive was previously used and the lubricant was fully drained. SynLube™ Lube-4-Life ? contains state-of-the-art additives and is specifically engineered to afford complete and superior protection.

Justice Brothers products can be used from the very first day of a new car or at any time on older vehicles. Justice Brother's oil additives will reduce engine wear and friction, but will not interfere with the "break-in" period of a new car. Yes, Justice Brothers Power Steering Conditioner & Treatment will correct squealing and hard spots and stop most seal leaks. The product is also good to use in new units to prevent wear.

No, they are not necessary and are extremely detrimental. AMSOIL Motor Oils are properly formulated under the strictest Quality Control procedure to provide superior lubrication performance. See Oil Additives for more detailed information. In regard to AMSOIL Super Duty Oil Filters being inferior to Wix (NAPA) filters based upon visual inspection, AMSOIL Filters have an inner beauty that's not visible to the human eye.

come onto the market recently; they are different from the moly-based additives that have been around since the early 50's. PTFE is the chemical name for Teflon(TM), a trademark owned by DuPont. In general, auto manufacturers do not recommend use of these products. Most USENET responses to questions on these additives are favorable (slight increase of MPG after application, smoother revving) but long term results (whether PTFE additives are effective after 5K miles) are debatable.

The inventor of the Odorhog™ tried additives, and they didn't work for him, so that's why he invented the Odorhog™. There are two sides to the additive issue. See our LINKS page for articles that say that additives are not necessary, don't work, and some could be bad.
