The most dangerous in the operation of a car should be considered the wear of its units. Scientists are tirelessly working on ways to reduce wear and tear on machine parts and mechanisms. The most common means of combating wear is the use of various additives.

Step 1
If you intend to apply an anti-friction additive to the oil, pay attention to the friction mode in the engine and the type of wear. If you ignore these points, you will be wasting your money at best. It is much worse if the wear becomes even greater, the compression drops, and the oil consumption increases.
Step 2
Most of the antifriction additives, according to the assurances of the developers, do not change the properties of the oil. Therefore, if you use these funds, then there will be no negative effect. It makes no sense to use such additives to reduce friction in the crankshaft bearings. In this case, there will be no harm or benefit from them.
Step 3
Be aware that additives can have side effects as well. First of all, this is typical for substances that contain compounds in the solid phase (graphite, non-ferrous metals). And those additives that contain toxic compounds in their composition can be not only harmful to the engine, but also hazardous to human health.
Step 4
What should be the ideal additive? It is a compound that is soluble in a lubricant, of synthetic origin, and does not contain compounds in the solid phase. Such additives are preparations related to metal conditioners. Their properties practically do not affect the quality of the oil.
Step 5
Today, there are certain difficulties in choosing metal conditioners. Basically, the difficulty lies in choosing the best quality. It is not entirely correct to pose the question of which of the filler materials will help to improve the interaction in vehicle units, and which will not. After all, the action of metal conditioners is based on the same physical principles, they are related in composition and have comparable performance.
Step 6
In any case, the use of such filler materials will help improve the interaction of parts in the mechanisms and assemblies of the machine and extend its service life.
