MOpar filters...no matter what they are, are better than the fram "orange" filter. Those things are JUNK.
I had a bad experience with Lucas tranny additive in my truck. The tranny surged and bucked and so I had to change the fluid twice in a two week period. Never again!
The oil additive is a viscosity thickener like STP or Hyperlube. But if it makes your engine last longer, why not run it?
We could probably debate the fuel additive. To me, nothing works better than Techron. But Lucas might be #2.

+1 to the Techron.
I have only gassed up at Chevron for the last 2 years. Before that I would go to whomever was cheapest. At about 60,000 miles (4 years ago or so) I did the first Mopar Combustion Chamber Cleaner cleaning that was ever done on the engine. White smoke billowed out of that engine the likes of which have not been recorded yet on Youtube. The white cloud from that may still be hovering over Northwest Indiana somewhere...
At 85,000 I did a second MCCC treatment. It pour white smoke again. So bad, that the neighbor's wife about 3 doors down came outside and exclaimed, "God Damn, somebody's been burnin' tires out here." I LOLed at that one.
At that time I was reading up on fuel system cleaners and most sites I read ranked Techron as the best additive out there. I started going to Chevron exclusively after that, which was about 2 years ago.
A month ago I did another MCCC treatment at 105,000. No smoke, not even a bit, wasted a can of MCCC. I don't bother adding stuff to the gas anymore.
Techron works, and it's already in the gas at Chevron. You can buy a bottle for about $8, or you can spread that $8 across the cost of your fill-ups at Chevron.
Got caught in San Antonio last year low on gas and couldn't find a Chevron. Stopped by a Quiktrip, as they are also supposed to be top-tier rated gas, and the stations are heavy volume so they turn over quite a bit of fuel. Truck sounded like crap all the way back to Dallas, just a noisy racket on acceleration and a rougher idle. I don't use anything except Chevron anymore.

Yes the engine restore killed my dodge neon motor. i have been using the tranny additive from lucas forr about a year and no problem. i use the fuel injector cleaner,oil additive, rear end additive and no problem at all it helped the tranny shift better too. I also heve the purple ice from royal purple in my radiator.

i went and did a search for this oil filter and found out that most places use this filter on 318 motors from 1959 to 1974.
a 318 is a 318?
