Breaker! Breaker!
I'm going to need to get to an oil change when I can, so the question arises...are main seal additives worth it in our engines?
I have some oil on the starter and I know the rear main will only get worse, but the front main is the one that leaks most, leaving about a 2" or less stain under the truck overnight (not damp). I've used rear main seal additive in the oil in my gasser before, but the seal was too far gone for it to have any effect (gasser leaves close to a dinner plate size wet spot after driving it).
So is it worth it with the main seals just now starting to leak? Any specific one to use? Any recommendations for oil?
I'm currently planning on getting a FL-1995 filter and using motorcraft synthetic blend (red jug), and I have a jug of Delo in the back floor that I've been topping off with every now and then. I had previously been topping off with Rotella, but after reading a thread here, I switched and it doesn't seem to use or blow out as much.
