Default Ceramic oil additives

Hi
Just curious if anyone tried out these new Ceramic oil additives?
Is it any good?
Right now I have some "plain" oil additive which is supposed to be used by the army too.

No I have not tried them nor am I apt to anytime soon .

My friend down the road has a neighbor with a loud **** truck that bugs him badly . Maybe he should give the guy some to try ?

With a little luck the motor would lock up and end the noise in his neighborhood

Oil additives are snake oil, they probably do what they're advertised to do but in doing so they will ruin other properties of the, oil for instance, the motor up crap is loaded with high pressure lubricants, they do work but most of it gets picked up by the detergents in the oil meaning they can't do the job they were supposed to do because of the motor up.
