    Default "wet clutch"

    Just about to change my oil and will add engine and oil additives to it. Came across STP oil additive with the following warning

    "Do not use on cars with a 'Wet Clutch' system"

    What the hell is a wet clucth? AND I suppose not hearing it before means that the Nova dont use such a system!

    Cheers

    i'd extend that slightly further to:

    "do not use"

    i mean seriously what are u planning on adding that shite for?

    oil will work a lot better with regular (3000mile) changes than adding some crap from STP or slick50
