Q:I bought an 85 Ford F-150 a few weeks ago. The dealer told me it had been sitting a long time. It had an oil leak and the mechanic told me to put this additive in that would make the seals expand. I did it and now I have many leaks! Why is that and what should I do?

Everything you mentioned wears along with the caliper piston seal. The rotors could be warped or worn too thin (for resurfacing) making the whole system worthless.

Q:I just want a list of all food additives/flavor enhancers or basically anything that contains animals. I‘m not a vegan, so nothing to do with eggs/milk, but I do know certain cheeses have rennet in them. So I would just like a list of foods with any animal in them. I hope that makes sense!! Thank you soo much!! :)

Two things to watch out for: rennet (which you mentioned, and it comes from the lining of a calf's stomach used to curdle milk for chese), and gelatine (which is made from crushed cow bones). Also, any shrimp powder or oyster sauce or chicken/beef flavourings. Those are things that I look out for on the labels.

Q:My transmission is acting up, sometimes it just revs up but continues to go. Other times it seems not to want to shift gears. This only happens when it is hot out, it runs fine in the morning when I go to work and it‘s cool out. A mechanic at work said to use an additive and get the transmission oil changed because there are bands in the tranny that may have loosened and the additive will tighten them up

Anyone who made such a suggestion is no mechanic. There is no liquid fix that can repair a transmission. The only way to keep it working is to repair what is worn out.

Q:IS THERE ANY MARKETED ADDITIVE THAT COULD CLEAN UP OR DO ANYTHING TO PRVENT A ENGINE LIGHT FROM COMING ON

No, the check engine light works off your ecu and monitors your emissions system. If the light comes on that indicates there is a potential problem with your emissions system.

Q:Is the stone powder used in the feed a feed additive? Is it necessary to have a feed additive for a feed additive? What basis?

Yes, absolutely speaking, to do a single feed permit

Q:Have a 96 xr250r. Is their any kind of fuel additive i can put in my dirtbike to keep things clean and running good

Sea foam 9 bucks a can but worth every penny I run it in my bike race car and street car its the best

Q:Why would additives effect a three year old more than an eight year old?

It depends largely on the context (what additives in what? I'm assuming you're asking about something like medication or ingredients in a specific food), but generally I'd assume it has to do with body size and the capacity of the individual to metabolize the substance. It's sort of like how a person who only weighs 105lbs is much more affected by alcohol than someone who weighs 220lbs.

Q:What is food additive?

Food additives are a kind of chemical synthesis or natural substances used to improve the quality of food, extend the food shelf life, facilitate food processing and increase the nutritional content of food.Chronic food additives is to improve the food color, smell, taste and other quality, Processing technology needs to join the food in the compound or natural substances.

Q:There was that big push years ago with those engine treatments like Slick 50, I‘m sure you remember them. Have those gone away? Currently I see some oil treatment additives that you add to the crankcase and it‘s supposed to condition the oil (somehow?) but it‘s already multi weight, so why would you condition the oil?

Use only the additives recommended by the vehicle manufacturer in the owners manual in the fluids and capacities section.

Q:My Honda Civic 2003 burns oil What kind of oil should I use? should I use an additive as well?

If it has over 130,000 miles, it can burn oil for 2 reasons. Very common with higher mileage engines on all cars. 1. Valve Cover Gasket needs to be replaced. 2. Distributor Seal needs to be replaced. Both are relatively cheap fixes. Use the manufacturer's recommended oil which I think is 5w-30 and 10w-30. Additives are said to be inneffective even though they claim to work.
