No oil additives ever IMO. For that matter any type of "fix" additive is only going to kick the real problem down the road a little.

Some owners of high mileage vehicles use oil spec'd for high mileage or use higher viscosity (5w-40 or -50 instead of 5W-30, for example). Additives? No idea if/how/why they might work, but I'm skeptical. If your oil consumption is severe, you should consider an engine re-build.

I've used BG RF-7 on high mileage engines to extend the time before rebuild, and have added 20,000 miles to a couple of engines.

My old school German air-cooled Porsche mechanic recommended it. (He actually owned Speedster number 5 and 7 (or similar). Retirement money!)
I thought all such things were Snake Oil, but not this product.
