Oil additives

What do people think about using oil additives in a 1.8t engine with 100,000 miles on the clock? Good, bad or makes no difference?

In my opinion not needed.

Spend ya money on fuel and drive it more lol

Just change the oil regularly, my old 1.8t was on 150k when I sold it and the engine oil was kept clean by changing the oil at half the recommended interval.

Don't waste money on additives just change the oil more frequently.

MGR anticipated your question by adding a note (lower right) to the oil specs in the Handbook.
