I was at the local Ford dealership today for regular interval service (2011 4-cyl Ranger with 24,000 km).
The dealer put in an engine oil additive ("conditioner", part # BG-110) with the change.
When I got home, I checked the owner's manual and it specifically advises against using oil additives.
Note that I get the oil changed every 4000-6000 km
Is the additive going to cause a problem? Why would the dealer use an additive when the manual says not to?
Apologies if people think that this is a stupid question. Usually, I just lurk on these forums.
