Things like SeaFoam get a bad name because redneck retards treat it like a fix-all when all it really does is clean fuel injectors.
I add STP zddp to pushrod engines and moly to my KA24DE.
This works for me
Anything good for a recently bought used car.
Something to clean out the internals
as a former autozone employee we would get fired if we didnt sell at least 6 of these stupid things
fuck that place
fuck fuel additives
fuck all that shit its just rubbing alcohol dont fool yourself if your car isnt running the way you want get a better fucking car or shut the fuck up
>Do any of them work
Depends entirely on the application.
Injector cleaner will clean your injectors (strange, i know), while octane booster in the right quantities will up octane which is especially useful if your shit is tuned for 98RON/93AKI and you're in the middle of nowhere.
Seafoam and/or Subaru upper engine cleaner will blow the carbon shit out of the intake tract and the cylinders.
Engine/radiator stop leaks and such barely work at the best of times and shouldn't be used at all, you're better off spending your money on duct tape and extra water/oil to get home and fixing the problem properly.
LSD diff additive, at least from Nulon, works extremely well for some reason.
Are you saying that rubbing alcohol would be a good fuel additive?
It's not fuckin rubbing alcohol
