Post Motor UP

Went and looked at a 99 996 over the weekend. My friend was interested. It was a high mileage car. 80K. He is interesting in mainly track use. The owner mentioned that it was well taken care of, and that he used Motor Up (I believe that is what he called it). Anyway aren't these additives bad? (Slick 50 etc......)

Interesting. I don't mind something being worhless and spending a few bucks as long as it doesn't cause damage. Does that make sense.
