For a calmer but essentially equivalent discussion see Fred Rau's 
article on this.  Infoseek found it first time with the search string
"motor oil additive snakeoil" at http://bmwmccwa.asn.au/rbikemaint/snakeoil

Fred put a lot of work into finding out "do these things really work" and came 
up with the answer "basically no; most are mostly harmless but some are really 
bad news".  (my paraphrase, not his)

Berry-Bob sez checkitout.
