Just read you're owners manual. If Honda thought something should be added, they would have done it, or they would sell it.

one part: peppermint snaps

just maintain your car and you will not have to worry about additives.

Uh, here's another two cents.

Since we ARE talking about oil additives also, I think I have a valid point. Thanks.

And just because a NHRA car has a sticker on the side, it doesn't mean they use that crap.

Oil doesn't need an additive, and some fuel injector cleaners that have lubrication properties are recommended
