    Snake oil or not ????

    I have used castrol synthetic and Wix filters for years. I add Marvel Mystery in the fuel tank couple times a year just to feel good. Had several live well over 100000 with no major issues. I agree performing regular maintenance and just being mechanically aware are half the battle. 73 Jeff
