I wouldn't mind betting that the additive they use to repair wear on cylinder walls is unobtanium.

It's a copper-lead alloy plus a smidgin of silver apparently. Called 'CSL'.

What is it? http://www.ametech.co.uk/what-is-restore-33-c.asp

Seems this alloy is colloidally dispersed in oil. Probably snake.

At only 108k you really don't need it

The diesels and the v6's are good for a lot of miles , and the 1.8's are no slouch either ( before anyone bites my head off ! )

no head biting off but you did get them in the wrong order ,1st is the 1800 2nd is the v6 and 3rd is the diesel

to the op no need for additives if you have serviced the engine on a regular basis then the engine will be sound no wear will happen with nice oil in it all the time .wear will happen when when old is real old has has lost all its lubicating properties
