Help Choosing Oil Additive

I have a bottle of Lucas Oil Additive and i also have some stuff called Pro Long, Its actually an engine treatment. Im debating on which one to use. This Will be mixed with Castrol Synthetic Oil. BTW the odometer read 50,000 but im pretty sure its 150,000 since theres no room for the 6th digit.

If you are going to use synthetic oil,why put an additive in it? Thats like putting butter in your margerine,you don't need it.

A oil additive is a waste of money. Also if you have problems a additive is not going to solve it. Their Claims are all BS.

Just return them to the store you bought them from and get your momey back. NO additives to your oil.
