I know there is a lot of debate about the need for a lead
substitute (or even if lead substitutes even do anything),
but I would like to know what brands you guys recommend.
Also, how about those oil additives? I was in the local

claim to reduce lifter noise. Anybody with a T series
MG wouldn't mind reducing that noise! Is this claim also
snake-oil?
