Default Snake Oil - Is That Additive Really A Negative?

I found this article on oil additives extremely informing. It'* a bit long so you might want to print it out to read. I especially liked the section The Psychological Placebo. This explains why we buy items that we believe to be the best for our cars. Let me know what you think.
