About oil filters I think there's a company called MANN or somthing 
like that. I could be wrong but I have heard they manuf. these 
things for oem. The one I use is about $8.00. I am told it is for 
the turbo cars. It sure does weigh more than the ones for the 
non-turbo cars.? It is a german company and I buy it from my parts 
guy. I would not use any additives if you dont have to. You should 
use a quality syn. oil like "mobil 1" and change it every 3-5000 
miles with a new filter. If you do not change the oil your self,you 
should learn how, and find a source for recycling the old oil. Most 
good parts stores will have a container for depositing the old. 
Also at that time you can look at all the other fun stuff that 
could be wrong with your car or not. You know the fluids,tire 
preasure,wiper blades,lights, etc. Soon you will be confident about 
the car you drive, nomatter where you go.
