Ok other than the obvious seafoam what other fuel treatments do you guys use, i personally dont use any oil threatments or fuel treatments other than seafoam because honestly they'er a waste of money in my book, all snake oil.

I use 1 ounce of two cycle oil meeting TC-W3 standards to 5 gallons of gas.
Nothing in my oil.

I use 4 qts oil, 1 QT lucas in my engine.

100% lucas oil additive in my differentials (don't need limited slip additive when you use that)

8 ounces of lucas oil gets dropped in my tank once a month.

seafoam every 6 months when i change the cap and rotor.

Lucas oil tranny additive (not the stop leak, the conditioner).

I like lucas oil.

I never use ANY additives in ANY motor. If the motor has a problem, FIX it, dont mask it.

Seafoam or Techron arent additives, they are cleaners!

I use seafoam, or deep creep same sh*t whenever I feel the motor needs it and other than that its gas and oil. I dont spend money on anything that might be a cause to problems or cover up a real problem and thats what most of those additives do. I do fill up at only chevron gas stations and normally the same one, havent filled up at a different gas station in atleast 6 months
