Please people, pay attention to what Kenichi has said here. Not only we
should avoid using additives in the engine oil, filters should't add
anything to the oil either.
This man knows what he says. Dig in the internet to find the truth about
these kind of filters and oil additives. These are nothing more than
gimmicks sold to make profit.
Nothing like good oil and filter changed regularly.
