Engine oil additives
Any recommendation on engine oil additives? I change the oil very frequent but I was wondering if there is any new additive currently in the market that make some difference. "Ceratec" something like this?

You might as well as which god is the best god. I personally do not add oil additives and have not for over 20 years. I've had no oil related engine failures (actually no engine failures of any sort) in that time. I could not tell you how may miles that covers between my and my wife's cars, but all were replaced with over 150K on them (some close to 200k).
I also don't recall ever seeing an "I changed my oil regularly with appropriate quality oil and my engine still suffered an oil-related failure" post of any message board I've ever visited. Do whatever you want with this info For what it's worth, this is what BMW says in the manual: Information ATTENTION Oil additives can damage the engine. There is a risk of damage to property. Do not use oil additives.◀ |

Manufactures don't ever recommend oil additives. Today's synthetic oils are very good and already have additives in them to suit the requirements of automobile manufacturers. As long as you change your oil within the manufacturer recommended intervals and use approved oils you should never have any lubrication based failure.
