Oil addictives are all gimick. It's crude oil. Don't waste your money on those crap. Save your money and do some real mods. It amazed me of how people are still buying those stuff and it didn't do ****. ZMax is getting sue...didn't u know ? http://www.ftc.gov/opa/2001/02/zmax1.htm

Pretty much all of the common additive makers got in trouble for deceptive advertising not that long ago. Zmax has been found to just be colored mineral oil!
Honda flat out says that oil additives do nothing and are a waste of money. I remember reading that in one of the FAQs on http://www.ahm-ownerlink.com . I know my Dad says I should use Slick-50, but I'm gonna go with what Honda says about it, seeing as how they did design and build the car.

the only oil additive i put in my car is the stuff they put it, at regular tune-up's. it's called BG 44K. It's supposed to be really good stuff, they have a fuel additive, oil additive and Intake Manifold Cleaner, all really good products.

You know it's not recommend to use synthetic oil if your car have high mileage, because higher mileage car tend to burn oil.
