There's no good proof out there that it extends engine life for normal drivers in normal cars despite claims you will here to the contrary. It MAY be true but there's no proof out there that very convincing.
As for "improving gas mileage", another claim you will here, all the testing I've read seem to indicate that you shouldn't count on more than say 3% better fuel mileage. If that's worth it for you, then there's a reason to use it right there.
Thanks for any help.

All the GM PCV valves are metal cased, so I can look at where the hose goes into the valve cover and tell if it has orifice or PCV valve.

Thanks,
It's usually an air pump seized after sucking water in through the air intake.
My son was just told that his 96 S-10 2x2 4 cyl with 40K miles needs the clutch replaced. The quote for the work is 1000.00 which seems outrageously high to me
He had a problem getting it into gear. The mechanic said the fluid was completely empty. He said it may just be the hydraulics but he won't be able to tell until he gets the transmission in order to know for sure (450.00 for labor). Does this sound right? My son is 2 hours away at college and I don't know what to tell him to do.
Is it possible that he can just fill the fluid back up and drive it back here 125 miles so I can get it to a mechanic I know or would that be asking for trouble. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
