Amen to that.  Many years ago in the UK the various Holts additives were 
advertised as doing just that - getting round a problem that would otherwise 
require an expensive replacement or repair, with varying degrees of success. 
It is subsequently that manufacturers have been trying to pass these things 
off as something magical for good engines.  They are a catch-penny for the 
unwary, and can even be counter-productive.  Take an oil additive that 
increases oil pressure - if the problem is worn bearings or oil pump, it can 
only increase oil pressure by reducing flow through the bearings, which is 
surely counterproductive, and nothing more than a false peace of mind for 
the driver.
