    Default Anyone used Hot Shot's Secret FR3 Friction Reducer additive? Any feedback?

    Has anyone used this additive and what, if any, results were worth noting?! Thanks in advance.

    I usually stay away from any additives. I call them "trouble in a bottle". The only additive that I use and has not given me any trouble has been seafoam and I only used it in my diesel vehicles to help keep the fuel from gelling up.

    Friction reducers are not recommended for wet clutch applications!

    I wouldn't use it because of possible clutch issues. I really see no point in using any additives with todays oils.

    Yeah, I was kind of thinking about the clutch, but I figured it wouldn't hurt to ask!
    Thanks for all your answers.
