[V8] snake oil?

[Mark R]

Synthetic should always be used.  I've heard a lot of good things (but never
used myself) regarding sea foam.  Of course, the right synthetic oil and
heat should keep an engine clean.

Oil analysis over time with one of these products would be great.  Perfect
article for an automotive magazine.. do a 2 year study using an average
American truck, an average European car, and a taxi.  =)
