Translation: If you do feel the need to use snake oil, polyether-amine based
snake oil is best. :^)

It doesn't say how much to use, either. I would think that once a year, or
perhaps once in 10,000 miles, is more than enough, not once an oil change.
See the footnote too. "Aftermarket additives are intended to be added by the
*customer*..." If you are paying your local service station or Jiffy Lube
to add this stuff, you are not following the instructions. Only the
customer is supposed to add this stuff. :^)

OK, what is considered 'top tier'? Can we make a list?

I use Citgo generally because the station is right next to work and it is
the cheapest around and the vehicles run well on it. Is Citgo top tier?
How about others such as newcomer Valero, or Raceway or others like that?
Getty is usually cheap too (and they never charged extra for credit cards) -
is that top tier?

I learned something too. They guy with the Scout serves to point out that
there are cases where this stuff is not only beneficial, but necessary. I
seriously doubt that your vehicle is one of those, but once a year or so
won't hurt. Note that one or two of the guys who recommended against this
stuff, have promoted pouring a quart of ATF down the throttle, in cases of
suspected carbon build up. I am not saying that that is necessarily bad,
but it has to be more stressful on you and your engine, than something you
pour down the tank and forget about.
