Do any of you lot use and additives or flushes on ur 323F's?

i know some people who use redex with every tank and a flush every oil change, is this necessary?

Ecotek Powerboost every 12,000 miles
RedEx every 3rd tank of fuel
STP Powerboost (Octane booster) every other tank
ZX1 in the oil/gearbox/fuel tank/coolant whenever I can afford it!

Optimax constantly!

.....I may have missed something out but I can't think of anything else right now (...must be all those additives & € numbers!; they've muddled me brain!)

Oil addatives forget - just use a decent one, it contains all you need.

Fuel addatives - some are ok but most are a waste of money.

Octane boosters - Read the label carefully and then consider higher octane fuel as a cheaper option.

oil additives forget?????!!!!!???? my v6 used oil like crazy put abcon M additive and the engine runs perfect now. car has done 5000km with the additive and filled up only around 300ml oil to take it to normal 4l.... so it works saved me an engine replacement.
before used one litre every 800-900 km.
