    Changed my oil today and got to wonderin if any of y'all run ant oil addatives or high milage oil? I usally run regular castrol 5w-30 with stp oil addative but this time bought so high mileage oil ran that with no addative just wanted to see what everyone else does?

    Additives?? Never. There's enough additives in the oil themselves. The STP you use just makes the oil thicker IMO.
