I just read a thread on adding ATF to the oil just before an oil change and it made me think. Do y'all add anything to your oil before oil changes. All I do it drain the oil, drink beer, change the filter, drink another beer, and replace the oil.

Should I be doing more.

I change oil so frequently that it doesn't matter. I've been driving a lot lately (driving to the coast and back, regional road trips, etc), so I've changed my oil (Supertech 10w30 Synthetic) every 1-2 months/3000 mi out of mileage necessity.

Sometimes while draining I go inside and forget and three or four beers go by.

Oil additives are not really needed, IMHO... The only thing you might add is BG MOA...

MOA after, BG Quick clean just before. Drain while hot, don't let sit.
