Fuel goes in the fuel tank. Oil goes in the oil fill. Transmission fluid goes in the transmission. Brake fluid goes in the brake reservoir. Anyone who is putting transmission fluid in their fuel is a fool, and I challenge them to prove it does anything positive at all. "I haven't had to change injectors in blah blah number of miles" is not proof.

LOL.

You know I've never had to put brake fluid in my truck. Never, not once, and I've never used a brake fluid additive either. That's the one thing on my truck that's held up wonderfully.

I had some guys swear to me about the Lucas oil additive lately. So I asked my mechanic about it. I don't put anything in anything without asking for his opinion. He pretty much said it's bunk. Everything in Lucas is already in the oil you put in, providing you're using a good oil . I just stick to regular oil changes.

I just realized something. I've been drinking Dr. Pepper for the past 20+ years. I haven't needed any work on my heart during all those years. Therefore Dr. Pepper must be the reason.:clap:

If all these additives work so well why don't the manufacturers require their use? Less warranty repairs and longer life.

Not only that, but if they worked there would be a big fleet endorsing the product, after all a fleet of 10,000 or more trucks could benefit from some of the claims of the snake oil, I mean additive
